Opening outdated exs files

Question

couldn't find anything on this.....  i have logic 9 now, and a newer imac.  i decided to dig up a logic 7 project.  the exs file "mini lead" is missing.  i found it on my old hard drive, both the exs files and the sample folders mini lead 1 and 2.....  so, i went on the new imac, executed command shift g, and put them in library>application suppot> logic>pluggin settings>exs.......  i could not find an obvious place to put the audio files.
when i opened my project, i noticed that the mini lead did not appear in my preset list on the exs24, or in my channel strip presets when i tried putting the file in the channel strip folder.  so, i tried loading the mini lead exs from the synth module while the folder was in the aforementioned pluggin folder.  it was exactly the file the computer navigated to when i clicked on the "load" function in the esx24 menu.
my hope, is that this can be remedied by locating the audio folder where the samples for the patch belong.  (?)
if so, where is the sample library folder at now?
if not, is there a way to do this?

what is the path for the sample folders?
I gave them in the earlier thread...
However, having said all that, as you asked..  the correct paths for exs stuff should be...
Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples for the exs samples in their respective folder structure
and
Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments for the exs instrument presets themselves
There is also a second place for GB exs presets too..
Library/Application Settings/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files for GB exs samples
and..
Library/Application Settings/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Instruments for the GB exs preset instruments
Note: These are all found in the Local Library found in the root of your System Hard Drive and not in the User Library....
