Can't find vst on windows, fl studio 20

Open brooocci opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I do not know why but even though I place the extracted folder into the fl vst folder where I ALWAYS successfully am able to find downloaded plugins with the fl plugin manager, I cannot find or use this one at all, and I even did what a website told me to do and changed the .vst3 file to .dll and it still can't find it or use it, Could you please send a dll file soon or place it in the next update and stuff? please...

Note that VST3 plugins must be put in the exact folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

I can reproduce this issue on Windows 11 on Ableton Live 11:

  • Currently placed VST3 file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
  • Open Ableton and run plugin search

Actual result is the plugin is not found

Expected result is that the plugin is found and recognized by Ableton

Just following up for anybody still stuck, I had it on Program File (x86) which is why it wasn't showing up. Ableton only reads from dlls and VST3 under Program File folder structure.
