Are you sure you put the right dll into the right VST folder? In mine I have all four dlls in the VST folder. I have 4 because 2 are non multi outs and 2 are multiple outs. Thats two each 64 bit and X86.
We think alike John! That was one of the first things I checked. And sure enough there were four, which I thought was strange.
More detail, I have SSD's for my Sys, Sample, Audio. I didn't want to let all the samples go on the sys disk. So during installation I told GPO to put itself (that requires over 2gigs!) on the sample drive. I also put the samples on that same drive. But I also made sure that the .dll's were where I wanted them. I expected SPlat would pick them up. It did, but as vst's!
Update: I uninstalled GPO, Aria Player, and cleaned the registry out, did several restarts during this process to be sure it's all clean. Re-installed GPO to it's default location (C:\) and put the samples on the sample drive. Same results. So I reset/rescanned and still the same.
Right now I have it uninstalled trying to figure out which way to go.
John, is GPO showing as a VSTi in the plugin menu/plugin manager on your machine?
Reminder: I am on my music PC win7.
