New install  X3 cannot find session drummer
 
8.5, x1 and x2 are installed.
 
I used the same paths.
 
I open a recent project edited in X2 on Saturday and am informed that session drummer cannot be found. 
 
It is in the same place as it was last I added it to a project.
 
I have scanned for vsts again, all items.
  
Soon I will open the project in x2, verify the presets are saved for the three instances of SD, open the
project in x3, add 3 SDs, load the presets, find and change the many associated midi tracks, route all the SD
outputs correctly.
 
But I would like to avoid all that. Especially cuz I will no doubt have to do it for all projects using SD!
 
Any ideas?

Thank you for the link.
 
But, alas, I am still lacking joy.

Drink beer :)


Sorry to recap...

You did a RESET and then a rescan?
You have validated that the DLL is in the correct file paths? You are making sure there is no 32 bit DLL file in there when you have a 64 bit version?

Cheers

Nothing has changed except installing X3 and then x3e.
 
Nothing has been moved. The files are where they were.
 
Full reset and scan, at least twice, after computer restarts.
 
Why me?

You've checked the VST file path in preferences?

What are you doing awake, and reading forum bits on a late sunday eve?
 
Yes I have verified the paths.
 
Currently I have 3 folders:
the CW path:    C:\AudioCommon,...
and another:     C:\program files\common files\vst3
3rd party stuff:  D:\AudioCommonOther
 
I have reset and scanned and ,.......
 
 
((( another issue sad issue : how do I add the 3rd party folder to the browser?   right-clicking on the effects bin gives access to the 3rd party effects and synths. And the browser provides acces to the synths. But not the effects.  What am I not doing correctly? ))))

And now SD is not found in the projects when opened in X2.
 
What was supposed to be a happy experience has resulted in many wasted hours. And now cannot do anything without reloading, and rerouting, SD.
 
And: DP cannot find the samples!!!!!!!
 
Dead in the water.
 
I have sent a message to support and received a reply not related to my issue.
 
And the car needs a body repair, and the house roof needs replacing, and the dog next door needs killing,....

I just responded to DP issue on the other thread.
 
In regards to SD, googled this, I suggest reading from top to bottom to see if it helps:

A quick way to get the plug-in back would be to remove SD3 from the Vstplugins directory and perform an advanced install of SD3 from X2 Producer. If the plug-in returns, it would point to a problem with MS libs. There are no function or content changes with SD3 from X2 to X3. Here is the thread which lead to the knowledge base article linked above http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/2901452 which also provides a link to a dependency walker (post #29).
