Install Problems UAD 64bit - Resolved

The sixty four bit plugs actually (it seems) want to install into a proprietary UAD folder (check the UAD64 bit threads upstairs) AND the C:Program Files/Steinberg/VST plugins folder (if you have one).  So those folders (or at least the Steinberg one) needs to be in your list of folders to scan in your VST settings in X2.  BUT FIRST you should remove the "powered plugins" folder (just copy it to some other location first if you're afraid of deleting it) from whatever 32 bit VST folder it's installed in.  That way when you "rescan existing presets" in your VST settings area the only thing that X2 will see is your new 64 bit folder(s).  It's a bit convoluted but if you've installed and scanned everything properly...it will work.  Honest.

Thanks for this but tried it and still no joy - the plug ins are there, they even light up, but they're just not doing anything! I've emailed UAD and shall see what they say - I feel I am going to have to get rid of all UAD stuff (registry as well!!) then try a totally clean re install - but I shall wait to hear from UAD first.
Thanks again

Thankns to both hof you for outlining this process.  I have downloaded the 64bit UAD update, but not yet installed it.  Your thread will be helpful reference.

Sure wish this forum software had a little button just to note "thanks", but I guess without it we become more expressive.

Well I uninstalled everything, searched for any extraneous UAD bits and pieces left after the install ( which there where) and then did a clean install - after checking to see if I had a Steinberg folder in my programs list, which I did not - as above, after install I checked again and yes, there was a steinberg folder, complete with the 64bit dll's - I just left it where it was, added a new scan path and all is now well. I think before it was seeing the 32 bit Dll's which loaded correctly in the right place for that on my set up.
I have to say though, why they cannot simply let you have a chance to direct the installation to the correct positions is pretty poor - hardly rocket science these days I would have thought.
Anyway thanks to everyone here as usual - just as a matter of interest, still heard nothing from UAD who I contacted with this problem - just goes to show how well our forum works - cheers!
