Same VSTs on different computers show as MISSSING

[David Coventry]

Hello

So I have two computers. Laptop and desk top. I have the same VSTs on both computers. When I open a project on one computer that was recorded (or just mixed a little) on the other computer, sometimes the VSTs are considered MISSING (see image) and aren't loaded into the session.

Does anyone have an answer to why this might happen and what I might do about it?

Thanks very much.

The only time I have seen that happen is when one session has a VST2 and the other has a vst3 loaded... You try to check that and see if that resolves the issue.

As Xel Ohh says it probably is about different paths to the vst.

So check the paths for the vst2 also.

Thanks Xel, I'll have a look into that.

Moved to a new computer and I have this happens on every project I open.
Some of the errors I can fix by re-adding the VST2 version (where the plugin was replaced by VST3) back in the VST scan path, or by digging up and installing the 32bit version.
