create a folder in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk
call it:Vstplugins32
install your plug ins .DLL to this folder.
go to plug in manager, add the line:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins32
restart or rescan sonar.
good to go.
this keeps everything nice and clean.
by default sonar does not crate a 32 bit plug in folder in sonar, it only creates a Vstplugins folder in:
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins
this is where all your plug ins are stored, I don't like mixing my 3rd party plug ins inside this folder.
because then it turns in to a mix of mongrels,
I like them all in their own file, you will too.
also keep in mind, your only installing the dll to this folder not the plug ins .EXE (though sometimes its impossible to get around that)
and that's okay, but when ever possible, when your plugins install wizard starts it asks you where to install the plug in (that means .EXE) That goes in program files (86) for 32 bit plug ins.
press next, it asks you where and what type you want to install (VST2 / VST 3 / RTAS) and direct explorer to the vstplugins32 file.
some older plug ins wont give you the choice where to install the .DLL this is where the separate plug ins folder also comes in handy,
you need now to only find the .DLL and drop it in the 3rd party folder.
I know this might sound confusing, but I've explained this very thorough so you could understand every aspect.
as for your other question, there are no double versions of plug ins in sonar, vintage warmer 32 and 64, only the version you installed.
i believe vintage channel is only a 64 bit sonar version. (not vintage warmer, im not sure what is that ? PSP plug ins or something ?)
your question is a little confusing.
