Missing plugs after installing X1

Anyone ?

Thanks for the response, Katherine.  I seem to remember something about registering plugs using regsrv32, but I don't know if that is applicable here and how I would go about doing it.  When I bring up a missing plug's properties, X1 shows me this long classid and I have no idea how to use that.  I don't understand why X1 can't use the plugs when the Cakewalk Plugin Manager is indeed pointing to the directories that contain the plugs.  Anyone else?  Please?

When you run SONAR are the plugins present in the Plugin Manager?

Mike V - No, the Plugin Manager doesn't list the plugs, but the plugs reside in the directories listed on the Cakewalk Vst Scan Paths (which is displayed via the Vst Configuration Options button on the Plugin Manager dialog).  Thorne

Wait a minute.   If you are able to see the CLSID in the Plugin Manager, then the Plugin is registered (Regsvr'ed).  So, it should be selectable in one of the Plug-in menu Layouts.   Is it MIA in a menu? 
 
Humm....
 
 
 

But the thing is DC, is that the only way to see the CLSID in the Plugin Manger is to click on the actual plugin.  And since he can do that, and get a CLSID#, the pluging has an entry in the registry.  If he can see the plugin in the Manger, then he should be able to add it to a menu.
 
Interesting....
 
 
 

Lexicon is working 64 bit for me; PerfectSpace, however, is still 32 bit.

You're right Katherine. The plugin will only show up in Plugin Manager if it is registered. But I interpreted thornev's comment to be that he saw the CLSID in the missing plugins dialog, not in Plugin Manager. I confess to being a little confused as well. My guess is that he uninstalled the DX plugins (at least Pantheon) when he uninstalled the old versions of Sonar. If so, I think he should just be able to register it again to get it show up in X1. Interesting stuff.


Best regards,
Don

Katherine - I cannot see the plugin in the Plugin Manager.  I can see it as a missing effect in the track's effects bin.  Thorne

That's exactly what I see if I add Pantheon to a project, close the project, close X1, unregister Pantheon, run X1, reopen project and double-click on the effect.

Wow...I gotta remember that procedure if it ever happens to me.   It is wacked, but interesting.

Just run "regsvr32 <name of dll>" to register your DX plugin.

In my case I would run:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Plugins\Pantheon.dll"


(quotes necessary since "Program Files" contains a space character)

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Plugins\Pantheon.dll"

In my case I did:

regsvr32 "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Plugins\Shared Plugins\Pantheon.dll"

The result was "registration succeeded", but my project still thinks the Pantheon plug is missing.  I notice that I have a Pantheon.chm file in "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Plugins" but no DLL.   I copied the DLL into that directory and registered again on the copied DLL.  Project still doesn't see the plugin after I have X1 rescan the failed plugins.

Running the scanner is pointless as its a VST scan.

direct X plugins have to be installed and registered. Copying dll files around the place doesn't work.

You best bet is to actually find which version of SONAR had the plugins you want and install them direct from disc. All versions of SONAR allow yoou to isolate as few as a single plugin for installation.

Hi
I'm having the same problem with a Plugin called Piwarp.dll, from Prosoniq (who no longer sell it or provide support)

I am working in Sonar 8, and the plugin has vanished since last night. Cakewalk plugin manager does point to the file.

I tried:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Piwarp-dll\Piwarp.dll" 

but I get the message:
The module regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Piwarp-dll\Piwarp.dll" was loaded but the entry-

point DllRegisterServer was not found.

Make sure that regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Piwarp-dll\Piwarp.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX 

file and then try again



I was editing in Sonar 8, and the problem seems to have emerged since installing Sonar X2

I need to sort this as the plugin is used in every scene of a sc-fi audio drama I am producing, which as ever, has a deadline. 

I should also add that the plugin is still showing and working in both Sony Vegas and Sony Sound Forge, and I can add it as a plugin in Vienna Ensemble Pro

Thanks in advance
