How would you install Rapture Pro using the command center  and just use it as a VST2 ?  (Ableton doesn't accept VST3)
 
I tried 'Verbose'  and had no options about vsts.   I'm not sure how that works really.  
 
 Thank you

At the moment the RPro installer installs both the VST2 and VST3 formats. I suppose you can manually delete the VST3 if you wish.

Thanks Scook   I guess that's my question: where is the VST3 to delete?  I looked in program files/cakewalk/ vst plugins/ rapture pro ?

program files(x86)?

I believe the VST3 spec recommends 64bit plug-ins go in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3" and 32bit go in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3." Depending on the installation options selected the RPro installer puts the VST3 plug-in in a folder in those paths.

Trust his input over mine, I was just brainstorming out loud. If you don't find the VST3 by the time I am allowed studio time I will join the search.  Of course, this is assuming you used recommended installation options as I did? 

OK, getting closer!      So I just reinstalled and       Rapture Pro appears in the VST3,  but not in the VST2 ( in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 like you said)        
 
What I am needing to do is run it as a VST2. So, do I just move it to the VST2 folder ?   or delete it out of the VST3 folder?
 
Thanks  Ara

By default, the VST2 format installs in "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins" but you can specify where to install VST2 plug-ins in the Command Center on the path tab in the Settings page. The VST2 format has a .dll extension.

Hooray!  Thanks Scook  you da man!    I deleted the VST3 version out. Now Ableton finds just the VST2 version I guess.  Yay, after a week off with problem solving,  get to make music again with Rapture Pro  :)

no didn't work-   now a set in Ableton Live with 3 ZTA2 and 3 Rapture Pro and 3 SI drums  crashes when I close it.  I can get it open though ~
