Which Sonar X3 VST's can be used in other DAW's

Hello,
 
One good thing about Sonar X3 Producer is that some of the Virtual fx and Virtual Instruments can be use in other DAW's. I wanted to organize these independent Cakewalk VST's and the Strictly Cakewalk VST's in a folder so to ask the forum here for advice.
 
I used Bidule 64bit Stand Alone to test each VST to check if they are working.  Please check the accuracy of my results.  What should I do with the folders:
Shared Plugins
Shared Utilities
Are there any VST's  in these folders that can be used in Other DAW's?
Did I miss any VST's that Sonar uses but not included here?
Some VSt's have content. Will there be any issues about this?

Let me ask:
The Independent VST's now have files in the folder which can be deleted except for the dll file? In other words each folder will only have one file which is a dll. Correct?
Bidule does not have a 32 bit to 64 bit built-in wrapper so I did not use jBridge to test the 32 bit VST's. I have jBridge so are there any 32 bit VST's that are independent?
 
Not sure what the "Unknown" (bellow)is and what to do with them. Are the "Unknown" VST's that funcion in Sonar?
 
What I did:
Program files\Cakewalk\VSTplugins - copied them in
Program files\ VST 64 From Cakewalk Use In Any Other DAW
There I deleted:
Breverb Sonar
Lounge Lizard Session
Nomad Factory
Percussion Strip
TH2 Producer
Transient Shaper
True Piano
So it means which VST's remain should work in other DAW's. Correct?
 
 
The List I made in the process of determining which are Independent VST which can be use in other DAW's:
 
VSTi's that run in Sonar and other DAW's
Z3ta+
SFZ
Dimension Pro
Rapture
Session Drummer
All 4 SI by Cakewalk
Strum Acoustic Session
 
VSTi's that only run in Sonar
T
rue Pianos Cakewalk
Lounge Lizard

TS64 Transient Shaper
PX64
Nomad Factory

The vsts you listed as unknown will run in other programs. I think ts64 and the percussion strip also work but now I have to test.

I would think Strum Acoustic Session and Lounge Lizard Session would both be in the same group, whichever one that is.

Thanks to all for the replies.
 
I should have been more clear that the
Unknown
Drop Zone
Cakewalk Sound Center
Perfect Space
are not even shown on the VST list in Bidule. So there is no way to test them. Any suggestions?
Psyn and Square are also missing from the VST list. Don't forget that I only used the VST in the folder Program files\Cakewalk\VSTplugins. So this may be the reason?
 
Moved the TS64 Transient Shaper and PX64 Percussion Strip to the Independent Group.
I could not get z3ta+ (zeta+_fx2) to work though I moved it as I strongly assume that I am doing something wrong.
 
As for Pentagon I could not get it to even Process whatever that means in Biduleese. But I know it is important.
 
I could not get Lounge Lizard to work in Bidule
How about Addictive Drums?
 
What should I do with the folders:
Shared Plugins
Shared Utilities
Are there any VST's  in these folders that can be used in Other DAW's?
Did I miss any VST's that Sonar uses but not included here?
Some VSt's have content. Will there be any issues about this?

Not familiar enough with Bidule to answer some of these questions but i can tell you that some of the plugins listed are 32-bit and that is probably part of your problem.  The following are ones I am sure are 32-bit:
 
Instruments
Dropzone
Cakewalk Sound Center
RXP
Square I
 
Effects
Perfect Space
VC-64
 
 
Pretty sure all of these will run in other programs.
Pentagon is not a vst but a Dxi instrument and thus only a few programs will run it without some kind of wrapper.  Lounge Lizard is tethered to Sonar and will not work.  Addictive drums should work fine.
