I have old projects that need Dimension LE, and although I do appear to have the DLL in my VSTPlugins directory, it doesn't show up in the plugin manager or work in my projects.
 
Dimension Pro is installed and works, but that's no good as that's not the plugin the project was created with.
 
I can't see any way to install it via CCC, which is unfortunate.
 
I tried searching this forum, but got the usual "There is no record available at this moment" crap.
 
Any suggestions?
 
(While I'm here, I'd like to know the easiest way to get hold of Rapture LE as well, for similar reasons. I have the full version but need to open old projects.)

you might need to resort to inserting dim pro on the midi track. im not sure if its still in ccc.
that or you might be able to install your older version of sonar that came with it (din/rap LE)

Your best bet is probably to open up these old projects in an older version of Sonar that actually has these plugins installed.
 
If you can do this you can freeze them (or bounce them) and then re-open in Platinum.

Until Sonar offers a way to replace one synth with another while attempting to preserve the preset, replacing Dim LE with Dim Pro is not a solution.
 
An old version of Sonar isn't going to help; if the plugin's not installed, it doesn't matter whether I open up 8.5 or Platinum. And if the plugin is installed, it doesn't explain why Platinum isn't finding it.

Well it must have been installed at some point, otherwise it would never be in any of your projects.

Not on this computer.

I have both Dimension LE and Rapture LE installed on my computer for backward compatibility. I installed them from an older installation disc. If you don't have it, support can probably assist.
 
You can also try installing V1.5. Don't know if it's a complete install or not but it probably is.

Paste the following (without the quotes) into your browser's search bar:
 
"site:forum.cakewalk.com How do I use Dimension LE with Platinum"

Also need to make sure the appropriate plug-in format is installed. If the project is old enough, it may require the DirextX version of DimLE. Installing DimLE from the Cakewalk product which came with the plug-in is the best bet.

I did actually try that link before - it just tries to update DimPro, rather than DimLE.
 
I'll probably just dig through my old installation discs, thanks.
