VST adapter - dimension pro 1.5 - X2

I had sonar producer 8 and the dimension pro 1.2 - I just downloaded the 1.5 update for dimension pro; it's on my desktop but I'm having trouble getting it into my sonar X2; it appears several of the items (ie Breverb) are having trouble - maybe it's because I use an old vst adapter - 4 - I've been using that since sonar 6 (or it may be before) - is there an up to date way to get vsts into sonar x2 - in short how do I get the new vsts (including the dimension pro 1.5) into the sonar - thanks for help.

    Why are you using a VST adapter?  Sonar has been scanning VSTs natively going back to Sonar 5.

    Easy, install (or copy if it just a simple DLL) them into the VST folder, either the 32bit install folder or the 64bit install folder, whichever way you went with it based on your OS. SONAR scans the VST folders at each startup. If a new VST is there, SONAR will recognize and "install" it.

    It should be an installation program for dim pro 1.5 which you'll need to run.

    well it may be "easy" for you but I've pasted it into vst plugin folder - it already was in the (86) folder - and it keeps coming up 1.2 in the program.  You say it rescans automatically but I'm not sure I'm set to that.  I did do a "scan vst plugins" from the cakewalk plugin manager in the X2 - but it is still coming up version 1.2 - any other ideas are appreciated.

    If I recall correctly every Sonar version past 6.0 updates the same VST scanner - it knows what version of Sonar calls it so there's no compatibility issues with it operating between Sonar versions (v6-X3).
    What you probably need to do is to update the VST Scan Paths as seen by X2.
    Each Sonar version keeps it's own set.
     
    Open X2, open the Edit system menu go to Preferences, then check the VST Scan Paths under 'VST Settings'
