Error message loading essentials

WaveLab
1

I’ve tried loading Essentials and keep getting this message. I’ve reinstalled it, but keep getting the same message (Mac Mini 4, OS 15.5)

“One of the files required by this plug-in cannot be found. Please reinstall the plug-in or contact technical support for assistance”

What does that have to do with WaveLab?

I get the below message,

and wavelab quits when I click on ok

4

There is a WaveLab logo, but this is not a WaveLab message.
The WaveLab logo can be explained simply because WaveLab is the host application.
This is probably a message from some plugin. You should contact the provider of this plugin.

5

How do I find out which plugin is the culprit?

6

Does this happen when opening an audio montage?

7

It happens on startup. Is there acrash log somewhere ( I’m on Mac)

Hold down the command key while launching WaveLab. This will reach the startup assistant, and from there you can skip any audio montage loading.
