I had a very hard time pointing C6 to the folders that the plug-ins were located in. I would use the VS2.x Plug-in path window to point to the folder, hit “Update” and “Update Plug-in information” buttons, save/apply, everything, but C6 would still call them missing.
I even moved them into new folders, like the Cubase VST folder, their own folder, etc., and C6 never acknowledged their presence, still calling them missing in the Plug-in Information Window (page 204-5).
After trying forever, I think I closed C6, or maybe closed and rebooted the computer, then, voila, they were found where I had put them.
I didn’t read that a reboot was needed, but I was wondering if this was something others have seen as well?
You’re right, it’s there, but I think only in the section for “Installing” plug-ins. As I’d installed them long ago (but had moved the folder without realizing what that would do), I didn’t go to that section, and instead I was reading the section called “Updating/Managing/Selecting in the Plug-In Information Window”.
Seems obvious now, lesson learned - thanks again thinkingcap.
