[SOLVED] Help with VST Failed to Load error message

[Billy86]

I updated IK multimedia Tonex, installed, scanned VSTs, CW "saw" in the scan file path in the pop-up toaster window, but when I tried to load it I got the error message in the attached. I checked the scan paths, and the Tonex vst3 path is in there. 

Any ideas? Thanks.

That number might be the clue. Myself I just submit to support as they get back pretty quickly during business hours

This is my bookmark for the form you fill in. Send the screenshot as an attachment at the bottom.

This error has been reported with a number of plugins over the years. Did you recently update Windows? I think that’s usually a common's denominator.

Windows always updates. Pain in the @#$@

 

Been awhile since I used BBCSO so there have been many updates since. No amount of re-installs or other measures have worked. The only plug except for SM EQ 4 that has problems

Agreed! I always hold my breath and hope it doesn’t break something.

@Billy86 IKM has included the folder Tonex.vst3 in the install.
For some reason that is confusing CbB.
Rename the folder TONEX. That "fixed" things here. Tonex standalone and the the vst3 is now working.
See the screenshot below:

HTH,

THAT fixed it! Thank you! I've been working with IK's tech support and will let them know that appending .vst3 on a folder name is suboptimal.

i'd suspect that it's to do with the way cbb is parsing the filepath string and assumes that the dot indicates a file not a folder?

Evidently that is what is/was happening. 
Simple solution, remove the “.”

Good to know. I’ve  never seen one before on a folder.
