I have just bought and installed the Cubase 12 Artist Full Edition. When trying to launch it I am stuck on the procedure which says: ‘Initializing: vstconnect.dll’.
I am unable to launch it. I have tried many uninstalls and clean installs, always deleting the eLicense folders and files (syncrosoft and SYNSOPOS as well).
First of all thank you for the immediate response! I have installed everything at the begining via Steinberg Download Assistant.
After your response, I re-installed on top both the eLicenser and Activation Manager from the links that you attached. I also restarted my PC. Nothing changed.
When I launch the Cubase 12 exe, I get a crach failure and a prompt to open it in safe mode. I choose Deactivate Third party plugins and deactivate preferences, and it still remains stuck on the Initializing: vstconnect.dll.
I had the Elements 10.5 version a while a go, but never used it much. Now I am giving a go to the 12 Artist version. Obviously I deleted the old installations.
Win 10, the launcher struck to vstconnect.dill and the error message is:
"application VST connect has caused the following error, could not connect POS.
all is updated to last version but doesn’t work anyway
Hi… I had the same a longer time ago when I had the Artist version… As far as I know (And the Steinberg Website mentions) VSTConnect is not included with the Artist version. But… It will work for a trial period time and once that is over will throw this error at you. I contacted Steinberg support and what you should do is what MonkeyShine says. Remove the related dll’s manually. I remember at some point of time I also got this error with CurveEQ… Same story. I now have Pro so I do not get this issue any more. Personally I think the trial versions should be presented more gracefully then throwing errors…
Hello, cubase pro 12, everything is up to date, but the vstconnect dll is also stuck and cannot be opened. Can you help me ? i don’t use vst connect i don’t know how to delete it.
