Plugin issue, any ideas?

I have another post on this but, I cannot seem to get issue resolved. I thought I would try from the top and try to be clearer. Forgive me for adding this post.

Ok, my X1c Plugin issue..................

I am having an issue with a couple plugins (Miroslav Philharmonik and AAS Lounge Lizard).
The issue is they are listed in the DXi section of the plugin list but do not actually work. A window pops up that says "Cakewalk missing plug-in stand-in". "The plugin is missing or improperly installed" (you all know the window I am sure).  
Now, they do show up under under vst and work fine but, I wanted to remove them from the other list....just because. In an email to Cakewalk, I also mentioned the plugin manager and how they were not listed so I could not keep them from showing up this way. Sadly, cakewalk responded and suggested removing them from the plugin manager. Lol. It took a while for a response so...I guess they are busy and blast through emails fast....without reading.

So here is where I am.


I removed everything from the scan. So, when X1 opens, it does not scan any folders. Starting with lounge lizard, I uninstalled the program in control panel. I removed any folders/names I could find on my PC. I made sure nothing was listed in the registry (that I could find that is). I have done all that my tiny little brain can think of.

Leaving the scan empty, I opened X1 and......IT IS STILL LISTED in the DXi section. So how can I get rid of this? What am I missing? Does anyone know of a spot this may be hiding? I have done a search for any .dll files and various lounge lizard names/extensions on the computer...I cannot find anything. Clearly, there is still something somewhere. I assume anyway.

I have tried reinstalling and have been through all of the above a few times. Nothing helps. 

I guess I am looking for 1 of 2 solutions.  I can deal with finding a way to make the DXi work, then simply keep the vst out of the scan. Or, find a way to remove the name from the DXi section. 
Any ideas at all? This is driving me nuts.

Thanks.

    I'm confused about what you're trying to do - but I can tell you this - you don't scan DXi plugins, you "register" (or unregister) then with something called regsvr32.
     
    Have a look here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249873
     
    or here:
    http://ss64.com/nt/regsvr32.html
     
    You need to find out where the dll file was installed by the plugin install - it could be anywhere.
     
    Where is it actually showing up? In a custom menu? If so - just delete it. If it's showing up in the default "all plugins" view - then I don't understand where it's *not* showing up. (it can't show up as a plugin if it's not in the listing of DX(i) plugs.
     
    Sorry - it's hard to descibe without the actual screens in front of me (I'm in a hotel room finishing up a week of working away from home)

    Have you searched the Registry for the  .DLL? I think you just need to delete the registration entry.

    Since these plugins come in both DX and VST versions, and there is no particular advantage to using the DX version, just exclude the DX versions in the Plugin Manager (select and click the "Exclude Plugin" button). That will hide them from SONAR. Although unnecessary, you could also unregister them like this:

    REGSVR32 /u {DLL_Pathname}


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
