Well darn and blast I didnt even realise..... For some reason Sonar isnt picking up my 64 bit versions of Komplete.....

Its all pointing to programfiles\nativeinstruments\vstplugins64bit.......

Oh well, all is well under Jbridge with no issues really and theres no way in hell I am going to re-install Komplete (whats that a 4 hour install as I recall?)

You don't need to find Bitbridge it is seamless and and almost transparent to the user. When a 32 bit plugin is detected Sonar will automatically load it with Bitbridge unless you told VST scan to use JBridge instead.

I say almost transparent because you will find the VST GIU acts a little differently but often you won't realise its running unless you know what to look for (a little blue icon in the top RH corner of the GIU).

Battery 3 is the current version and I think there is a 64 bit version. Make sure you get the latest updates. NI Service centre will tell you if you have them all.

By default NI will install the 32 bit DLL under "Program files (x86)" and the 64 bit under "Program files" in accordance with correct Windows practice. Make sure the 64 bit VST directories are in the scan path, and don't be tempted to mix 32 and 64 bit DLLs in the same folder.

Hello Glyn.
Could you shed a bit more light on not mixing 32/64 bit dll's? I currrently have done just that, and created a bunch of custom folders that contain mixed VST plug-ins as well. My understanding is that as long as you point the Plug-in manager to the correct folders, it will scan them and then all is well.
No?
My mega gripe in this whole 64bit migration is all my DX plug-in versions left behind...(Dimension, Rapture, old cakewalk effects, Timeworks stuff, vintage effects plug-ins like Hyperprism, all the effects plug-ins from Sound Forge 9....Arghhh! 
Constantly referring back to 32 system to re-create everything. Tried a DX to vst wrapper, no joy.
Yeah, I know...get over all those ancient DX effects the Druids used... 
Any hope/ideas from youse all....sorry to semi-hijack this thread, but I am obsessed, and not in a good way! LOL!
 

markyzno: no need to reinstall, just add the path to the plugin manager VST path and rescan.

Oh well, all is well under Jbridge with no issues really and theres no way in hell I am going to re-install Komplete (whats that a 4 hour install as I recall?)

FWIW, you can install just the plugins (sans the libraries)... which takes just a few minutes.

But, do I DARE???? :) (I never like to rock any boats) - Cheers tho dude.

 I would do it in a heartbeat. It has always been easy to point my NI software to any library.

I may have overstated this. I think its a question of organisation, I would hate to loose track of what is 64 and 32 bit and I cannot see an advantage (to me at least) in mixing them up. YMMV.

Last year exactly, I had this problem.  I watched that video few times and HOP!!!  Everything went good, I could fix everything myself.  Komplete was install but not working before Ilearned with that video

I hope it can help somebody again.
