Plugin suddenly not found, Cakewalk crash

[Ronman]

I've been using the same version of the AGSJ guitar from AmpleSound successfully for a year, but suddenly Cakewalk can't find it when loading a project in which it has worked before.  

I'm on Cakewalk  version 2021.12, build 102, 64-bit

I've cross-posted to the AmpleSound forum, but the exception code pertains to Cakewalk, thus this post.

I have four tracks using this plugin, only one fails.

First I did a 3-hour scan of the hard drive for bad sectors, none found. Then I deleted the plugin file and re-installed, same issue, but with a different track.  One time it also crashed the entire DAW, which saved a core dump (attached), along with the following notice:

I'll answer my own post.

I replaced the AmpleSound VST3 plugin with the VST2 plugin for the same instrument.  So far, so good.

Changing from vst3 to vst2 is not solving it, that's a band-aid. It isn't solved.
