HI:)

 

Wanted to load an older Synth, but it is not recognized as a VST, here the lines of the Log File:

 

======================================================================

VSTSCAN: ---- 163: g:\vstplugins_2021\Xpand!2_x64.dll ----
VSTSCAN: [ShortPath] g:\VSTPLU~1\XPAND!~1.DLL
VSTSCAN: [RegKey] Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory\g:/vstplugins_2021/Xpand!2_x64.dll
VSTSCAN: Previously scanned - NOT a VST plugin
VSTSCAN: Finished analyzing VST plugins - 0 of 191 VST plugins were scanned in this run
VSTSCAN: Delete untouched - Scanning for plugins to remove...
Closing log file
Thursday, 21 Oct 2021, 10:37:17 

======================================================================

 

I have the same Dll in another Windows Installation and there it works. iLok is started and the license activated!

 

What can I do? 

 

Thanks;)

Bassman.

Did you try a reset then rescan?

A VST reset performs 2 operations

  1. Clear the VST Inventory in the registry
  2. Scan every file in the scan path with vst3 extension and every file with dll extension except for those in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3". Dlls in the default VST3 folder are not scanned. They are supposed to be support files used by the VST3 plug-ins.

Running another scan immediately after performing a reset is redundant.

Every time I rebuild a new system all goes well except installing any Air products. The installation is buggy as all get out.

Right now I totally can't use Strike drums working because it says it's already installed? it isn't. Run the installer and it askes if I want the uninstall only. It is no where on my system. If I ask it to uninstall I get an error.  I don't really use it so I don't care to bother to sort it out. Glad I only paid $5. 

But they do have great sounds in Xpand and I use the DB33 organ a lot.  

I would be nice if they paid attention to their installers, kind of reminds me of installing Cakewalk :)
