So, I didn’t buy the upgrade yet, but I have an LE license, so I installed 15.0.5 (Win11)
For the life of me, i cannot get it to start, it always hangs in the “Scanning VST3 plugins…” (waited for 10+ minutes).
“%APPDATA%\Steinberg\Cubase 15_64\Cubase LE VST3 Cache\vstscannermaster.log” seems to indicate that it hangs on scanning Cubase’s very own Halion Sonic:
...
Scanning: Groove Agent SE (301/401)
Scanning: Groove Agent SE OK (588 ms)
Scanning: HALion Sonic (302/401)
I also installed the HalionSonic update to 7.1.40. Completely empty APPDATA-Folder for 15. restarted Computer and tried again.
Attached to the vstscanner.exe process with WinDbg, and the stack trace also shows Halion Sonic, but it doesn’t help me
