Oh yes C++ libraries - forgot about that.... See Scook's first link about install. Anyway plenty of troubleshooting info here now which I suspect will resolve the issue eventually...
 
Cheers..

I have done it all.
 
And still am wanting the hours returned that I should not have lost during this transition.
 
Until this is fixed I cannot work on what I was supposed to. The projects opened X2 also cannot find SD.

(Scook:  thanks for the link. Surprised to see you out of hiding. Beware the Romulans!)

Sorry have now closed my mouth

After doing all the recommended bits, SUPPORT suggested rescanning in X2.
 
I had not done this given my focus was on x3.
 
So, I reset/scanned in x2, and SD was found and happy.
 
Then, I reset/scanned in x3, and SD was found and happy.
 
(still having issues with DP not finding samples: but that is a different thread)

So:::::::::::
I uninstalled AD yesterday in pursuit of fixing my ASIO input problem and NOW SD is not found opening a project in X3!!!
 
I search for a solution and find this fred. Very helpful.
 
What does an X2 vst scan have to do with X3 not finding stuff when X3 was installed after X2?
 
Installing X3 has been nearly 3 weeks of total diverting annoyances. Dozens of hours lost attempting to fix stuff like this, and AD not installing, and the sound card drivers being nuked by X3 and AD install, and this AGAIN!
 
I am not the happiest dude I know.
