My VST scan earlier today did *much* better! Picked up everything that was in SPlat 'cept my beloved 32 bit Philharmonik CE. Tried several tricks but could not get that puppy running. <sigh> Overall, way better! What changed? I dunno!

bapu - I had loads of problems with IK ST2 based instruments not working in Home Studio when I first upgraded from 8LE - even when I ran in administrator mode - so I took advantage of the opportunity to import their libraries into ST3 Free

I just imported Philharmonik CE into ST3... all instruments accounted for! Philharmonik lives!

Getting Waves Shell errors during VST scan since today since the Cakewalk Bandlab update, the errors are in CbB and Splat, same thing in each DAW since automatic update.

I have 200 or so,missing VST’s (compared to Splat)

Mostly Melda production.

The paths seem ok as they were imported from Splat.

Frustrating though having to re-import them one by one into the VST menu.

Edit : i upgraded the Melda vst’s to v11.09. CxB found the vst2 versions but not those that are vst3. Running as Administrator does not help.

Also did a reset/rescan, still very few vst3’s showing up.

Any ideas ?

I think I read somewhere that 32 bit plug ins are no longer a choice. I could be mistaken. If true it's a downer for me but not a deal breaker.

I really hope this won't be the case. I use a 64bit version of SPLAT but still run some old 32bit VSTs without problems. It's one of the things I always loved about Sonar; how it allowed you to use lagacy software.
I've mentioned here before my love of Trilogy Bass module - I'll get around to updating to the new sparkly 64bit Trilion one day, but, until that day comes, I would like to be able to keep running 32bit VST. 
This was also one of the points that stopped me from buying into Presonus - their blocking of older VSTs.
Can anyone confirm or refute Starise's point?

I would like to see a link in the post instead of "I read somewhere." Cakewalk purchased the source code to BitBridge years ago and BitBriidge is still bundled with CbB. 32bit plug-ins still scan, show up in the browser and may be added to projects. But without updates, 32bit plug-ins are likely to turn from assets to problems. When they fail, not only with they be unusable in future projects, all the existing projects referencing the failed plug-in will become a maintenance opportunity.
 
It is true there is no 32bit version of CbB.

All my 32 bit plugs present and accounted for in CbB! ('Cept Philharmonik, but I solved that as noted above.)

I would have posted a link but I don't recall where I read it. After reading these comments I think I must have misunderstood. I wanted to make sure we could still use 32 bit...which BTW is beginning to go the way of the dinosaur in other daws. This led me to speculate even more. 
 
I'm glad to report all of my 32 bit plug ins are loaded and working  Sorry for the misinfo....I was asking not telling.

Not without reason. Maybe it is time to take the hint. Still, some feel comfortable upgrading everything but a few plug-ins the manufacturer stopped caring about years ago.
