Fadr Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Hi Guys, I need help, I've mistakenly deleted my VST3 folder ( C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3) and lost all the .vst3 files. it's can't be recovered since I'm using Geek Uninstaller and it was happened when I was uninstalled one new free plugin (Excite Snare Drum). What I need is the original Cakewalk file in that VST3 folder since just by added the all that file, it will be fixing what I've lost. I'm not sure what Cakewalk's .vst3 file in my VST3 folder but I've installed the add-on (Studio Instrument Suite, Drum Replacer and Melodyne) so I guess only needed those 3 files if there're available in vst3. Thanks in advance. Fad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Pretty sure the early access version of Cakewalk Web Installer should let you reinstall all the add-ons. Unlike BA, it does not keep track of what has been installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadr Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Hi Scook, Thanks for replying and the idea but I prefer just to add the files to VST3 folder rather than reinstall since I'm pretty sure nothing else missing but the VST3 folder. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promidi Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This is why I include the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 folder in a regular backup regime. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadr Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 @Jim Fogle, I've installed fresh Cakewalk onto friend's laptop and check the VST3 folder file but nothing is important, so I just reinstalled all the vst3 plugin again.. much safer less work than fresh install the Cakewalk to the same machine. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a production machine I run regular backups. The default location on your hard drive for your VST3 plugins is “C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3” Most backup programs allow you to select which folders you would like to include. To prevent data loss of your VST3 plugin files, it would be good to include this folder. Actually, I do a weekly backup that is pretty much the entire C:\ drive. If you have one, your IT specialist should really be on top of all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I don't use 3rd-party "smart" installer/uninstallers. If this had happened on my system, I have many hundreds of plug-ins in that folder that would need to be reinstalled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
