Hi guys

I downloaded the new version but have run in to a few problems :S

I Installed the update from Version 3.6 to 3.71 and now when I scan my plugins in Sonar I get the error VPA PlUGIN REJECTED HOST

If I then try and load the plug in I get a error saying it failed to load followed by the error that its not installed correctly

I decided to uninstall and start over but now when scaning my vst folders amplitube is not showing up even though I am scaning the folder with the .dll file in it.

Any idea what might be going on ?

Thanks in advance for all help

Try uninstalling and re installing, if that doesn't work try our supportsupport that'll look into it further.

Uninstalled then ran as admin and all has worked :)

Thanks to all

Seems like amplitube 3 now uses about 3% of my system on my i3 core. 
So in theory I should be able to have over 30 instances at once but I have never found that to be needed at this point in time.

Thanks again it is a very welcome update IK!

At this point, if you really want more information from the developers, fill out a support ticket. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/support

Like I said I don't wish to contact support I know the nature of those files and what they contain and I now know you are reluctant to discuss them openly.  That's all I needed to find out.

Your customers can ask for more information if they are interested, I'm long past it being a concern for me I cleaned my system of it and won't be putting anything further from IK on my machine, simply because of the fact that my initially simple request for information has met with so much visible resistance from yourself to be drawn on the subject of those specific few files.

Other readers can draw their own conclusions given these facts.

1/ These specific files are disguised with system like names and extensions.

2/ They are stored in locations which could render a system vunerable by needing write access in system folders.

3/ They are nothing to do with the authorization manager at all as previously implied by the representative here.  They are there if it is installed or not.

4/ They are not limited to this particular product, indeed at least Sampletank will create them so they are part of a scheme that IK employs, whatever that scheme's intent is does remain unclear.

5/ The files will re-appear if deleted by the user even if that user is the system administrator. (Malware)

6/ They are in fact data files which have no bearing on the actual working functionality of the product other than it will dig it's heels in if the product isn't given read/write access to them.

7/ The IK representative here is clearly touchy about the subject and unwilling to clarify their existence any further let alone their function.

8/ The IK uninstaller does not remove them although provided you no longer have any IK products installed you can subsequently remove them manually without them re-appearing.

Here is the list of those specific files again.

Windows\msocreg32.dat
Windows\System32(SysWOW64 on a 64 bit OS)\msvcsv60.dll
Windows\System32(SysWOW64 on a 64 bit OS)\w3data.vss
ProgramData\autobk.inc
AppData\Roaming\msregsvv.dll

Two of these files are named with a .dll extension which is normally given to a dynamic linked library.  They are not .dll's in any recognized form they are data files.

One has an .inc extension which is normally used as an 'include' extension for higher level language code intended to be compiled into machine code.

.vss is a Microsoft reserved extension used for the system virtual shadow service.

.dat is an acceptable extension for a data file which is what all these are but note that the msocreg32 file name is intended to look like a bona fide OS file which it is not.

Now all this stuff may be innocuous and part of a naive copy protection scheme but either unawareness or reluctance shown here by the company representative leading any anything but a clear explanation leads me to think...

...If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, then it probably is..............

btw if anyone does want to take it up with IK support feel free to link to this post if they need any clarification.

Candid openess.  Now there's what I call real customer support.

Of course, this manner of possibly giving information to the person best suited to provide a resolution and information is likely frowned upon based on previous posts I see here so we could provide back-and-forth middle-man communication if that is preferred at that time.
