Missing Plugin?

[Davydh]

Hi, I've installed Cakewalk on a new system and tried to load a project with a synth and even though it's installed,
and I can load the synth in a new project, if I try and load an old project with the very same synth Cakewalk acts like it's not installed.

And yes, it's something I purchased. Could you please give me some tech advice for what files to modify to make Cakewalk recognise the Virtual Instrument?

Thanks

Edit: even stranger, some projects will load the synth and other projects fail. Only on my new install,
all of them still load on my old one.

Is it a new version?

Do the old Projects have the VST 2 version?

It's likely the file location of the Garritan Steinway was different in your older projects.

I managed to work out the problem just now and it happened to be what you guessed. They were loading the VST 2 version,
but I only installed VST 3 on my new system.

Good to hear you resolved it your self nothing quite like that satisfaction.

Thanks for trying. As someone who's used Cakewalk for decades, what you mentioned has happened to me quite a lot over the years.
Nothing like hunting for forgotten directories :p
