The Cakewalk SI that were bundled are only VST instruments as far as I can see.
If I don't feel like launching a full DAW host to play a .dll plugin instrument, I use the free VSTHost, which includes a VSTHostBridge32 in the 64-bit version, so it will run 32-bit and 64-bit plugins. Handy for old 32bit gems like Minimogue-VA! It is a little more advanced than SaviHost, because it allows you to chain plugins together and has a mixer, but it is based on the same concept. And the most recent version is a bit newer.
