For people having this issue, just updated the Visual C++ redistributable. That should solve the issue.

In my situation, re-installing the C++ redistributables wasn't sufficient. After doing this, I at least started getting an error message, but the Waves plugins continued to cause both X1 and X2 to crash. The error message I got pointed to the graphics driver. I then updated by graphics driver on the advice of Cakewalk support and that finally resolved the issue.

The Visual C++ Redistributables update didn't fix my issue, but the process Waves suggested did.

so you all think this is worth it?

Worth Waves plugins? It's worth it if you can get their plug-ins on-sale or discounted. Most of them are very well done. And I understand their WaveShell lowers the installation of things, but you still have to download the whole kit and kaboodle from Waves if you wish to install a single plug-in. Waves certainly could do a better job here. WaveShell isn't worth it, but the plug-ins are, even with the terribly evil WUP.

Is this the exact same Waves Silver Bundle as sold by Waves, or, is this a special bundle just for Cakewalk? I would like to be able to use RTAS and Audiosuite in Pro Tools 10 in addition to VST in Sonar.
