Nuendo looking for Melodyne on launch [SOLVED]

I have a new Mac Studio computer (latest OS) with a fresh install of Nuendo 14. On booting up Nuendo, it always halts and Finder says “Melodyne failed to install”. Melodyne is not found anywhere on my machine. Its not listed in iLok, its not ever been installed. I never owned it. It WAS installed (without being activated) on my previous Macbook. I have looked in all VST locations and components. Nothing there related to Celemony Melodyne.

SOLVED: There was one folder I brought across that had Melodyne.vst3 in it. I had run multiple searches in Finder and looked manually and didnt find it until now. Geez Louise. Why Finder search on the Mac didnt match with it just because it started with a captial ‘M’ is crazy. I had system and hidden files searchable too.

icloud sync or time machine backups involved in any way?

I checked - nope nothing synced there exc ept for a handful of mp3’s and wavs
