The update installation finished and started on its own and is doing it's thing (just for SC). C3 reports 'Complete'.
C3 eventually resets as I continue. Noting a 'Red' LED by the NYC Showcase, I better DL it now. I'll never use it, but if a yellow LED might be problem, let's just do the red one and hope its short. Another 20 minutes and its almost time for dinner. I did not schedule any debug time for a synth I'm not interested in and had no choice about installing. I was just trying out a Project template.
The IR's are about done, and now I've got another install screen that I probably shouldn't just dismiss.
I'm getting real skeptical about this subscription auto update model biz is pursuing. In order to even get this msg to y'all I had these updates as well. A NV graphics driver, a chrome, a MSI mobo util package. Rarely do I not have 3 or more SW updates each day and that's not even the updates that I decide to manually seek out. My laptop had a very different set of updates this morning as well. I'm looking for something in a DAW that I can setup in 2 months or so. It may have issues, but I'll figure them out and I will be able to actually work tracks and not the DAW for 3 or 4 years. Updates are great, but they shouldn't be experiments. Better doc's are needed.
I can't recall anything that I've done that might have 'broken' the CS install.
So, fire up Sonar, and msg. I can't do anything about it updating my personal app files (I'm guessing these are my '../user/appdata/roaming/..' ones, but who knows? I've waited this long so 'OK'. Sonar then starts, I go File/New, select the template and the VST plug-in error shows up, just like before.
So, I re-scan VST folders, which does indeed find changes. And SC and the Project template subsequently loads correctly. An SI Bass loads OK, though I didn't DL that one yet so it is still yellow. I've gotten a lot more careful about VST installations, so I do not have the 'Scan on Start' enabled as I keep them pretty stable and still need to re-start often. Particularly with issues with do/don't bridge, 32/64, etc aside from just removing clutter.
I've heard some concerns about my being vague, so I'm trying to improve on that via a more documentary approach. Apologies to those that find it tedious.
Short story: The C3 won't update, flag or prompt for a new VST scan if needed. Without doc's for the update indicating this, it could be overlooked.
Long Story: This is not the scheduled activity for this evening.
