V4MD for Classic has name  V4MD.Xtra

Aha, so Director MS have special folder "Classic MacOS"
Which also have Xtra subfolder.

IT is shame on me, but I have never see it.
Now it is clear how Director MX should choose between Xtras.

Natahan, let's clarify.

So you have download both V4MD and V4MD_Carbon archives, yes?
Put Xtras into corresponded folders:

    V4MD Classic    into    Director MX/Classic MacOS/Xtras/V4MD.Xtra
    V4MD Carbon     into    Director MX/Xtras/V4MD_Carbon.Xtra
   
Yes?

I think that in projector you must repeat folder hierarchy.

    Projector   
        Xtras/V4MD_Carbon.Xtra
        Classic MacOS/Xtras/V4MD.Xtra
        
Check this.
