<Solved> Missing Plugins: PC4K S-Type Chan Comp

I didn't intentionally mess this up. I have no idea how I lost the PC4K S-Type Chan Comp.
 
I went to my Cakewalk Account and that is one of the only ones that doesn't have a download button.
 
Any ideas? I've looked in the C:\Program Files\Cakewalk folder and I find...
CA2A Leveling Amplifier
PC2A Leveling Amplifier
PC4KGate
ProChannel Concrete Limiter
 
I looked in the Vstplugins...
 
Um... What did I do? - I know this is an impossible question. Must be related to me monkeying around with the Blue Cat plugins.

    Do you think doing a system restore would bring it back? BTW I always save my plugins, drivers, and Sonar updates on a USB stick just for those instances when I need to reinstall something. I know that doesn't do you any good right now, but maybe something to think about in the future. :) I hope you get your s-comp back!

    IIRC, that plug-in was offered for a short time as a promo item bundled with the X1 Production Suite. The link might be under that product name.
     
    The PC plug-ins are in "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal" which is silently added to your VST scan path.

    I re-scanned folders and I lost the PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor. ?? What a puzzle.
     
    Maybe I'll just wait to re-install after X3 comes out. It's not worth the trouble.
     
    For those of you who have it, what's the file name I'm looking for? I could search my HD and see if I can find it.

    The PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor (the one that is included with Producer) is "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal\PCS-BusCM.dll" and the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor (the one that is not included with Producer) is "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal\PC4K S-Type Comp\PC4KSChanComp_64.dll"

    Scook, you're awesome, you know.
     
    So, I found the Bus one...
    C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal\PCS-BusCM.dll
     
    But I can't find the channel one. How weird this is... I would NEVER have been meandering around these folders.
     
    Just so strange.

    It does seem strange that the directory for the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor would go missing. There would be another directory associated with the installation of the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\PC4K S-Type Comp" which contains the uninstall information. If that directory is missing too, it might be that it was accidentally uninstalled.
     
    If you bought the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor, the line item in your store account would show "ProChannel Module - PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor" with a download link. If you have that item in your store account without a download link, it was bundled as a promo and the download link will be under another link for a bundle like the "First-Class upgrade to Production Suite." The compressor was not part of the Production Suite but was occasionally included as a promo item.

    It was there a month ago when I started mixing this show b/c I was using it. Oh-S!! I didn't have this PC a month ago when I started mixing it. I got a new PC!... I must have failed to install it. I didn't install X1 on this new PC. I'll bet that's the whole problem.
     
    Sorry for being such a space case. You'd think I could remember something like a new PC. :-)
     
    It looks like I installed Dim Pro and Beatscape from X1 but that I didn't realize that this was an X1 item.
     
    So... re-download X1 to install it?

    I found...
    v 1.0.1 installer - ProChannel - PC4K Compressor
    and when I click download I get...
    <Code>AccessDenied</Code><Message>Request has expired</Message>
     
    I'm starting to think this deserves a call to customer support.

    Sounds like a plan. I get the same error trying to d/l the installer.

    This was ultimately fixed by reinstalling using PC4K Channel Compressor Setup.exe then using RESET ALL PLUGINS then SCAN VST FOLDERS.
     
    At first either the Bus or Channel showed up... but in the end, I got both to be available.
