mgh,
 
Glad it worked for you. Still fried here. The thing installed fourth time, took out my internet connection, disabled the windows something manager. Got those up and running without much problem.
 
WC installed everything but the sink. Startup first time with a tirade of errors over wave this and that not found. Let it install to the default folder and properly aimed the recorder at the folder. It will probably take a week to get rid of the Wave Central garbage and all the extraneous shell files and the like.
 
Somebody tell me that if I have Valhalla, Lexicon, good convolutions, I'm not missing anything from the waves freebie.

They put both 64 and 32 bit shells in the same location.
WTF? 

Weird.
Mine created these folders for 64 bit and 32 bit:
 
C:\Program Files\VSTPlugIns
C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugIns
 
But it seems I have no control over this.

Same here.  But I can't say I had any problems.  My suggestion is to uninstall, delete any leftover folders from the above locations, then reinstall.  Reboot, make sure the above paths are added in Sonar prefs, and finally, reset/rescan VSTs.

Downloaded the Truverb freebie. (Like I need ANOTHER reverb!!! Greed took over!! Ha ha!)
It required updating my Waves Central app. Yes, that put both 32 bit and 64 bit files in the same folder. (Do I need to separate them out manually or, will that screw something else up?)
So, that broke all my Waves plugs that were fine before. After re downloading them all and messing (over & over) with the licenses/activation stuff.... I finally have all my Waves stuff working again EXCEPT the Renaissance Compressor! All the rest of the Renaissance Bundle works fine! I'm kinda stumped.
I've got an email into Waves support but, no reply as of yet. 

Sound like these are upgrade scenarios. I installed it for the first time and no problems but I'd like to know how to change the plugin file path.


One thing I read over and over again is deleting the waves cache fixes stuff...

Doc, can you point me to any posts/threads that discuss deleting waves cache? I'm wondering if that might help my situation.
 
Thanks!
