'ol pal, you're a FAR more patient man than I!

That revolving "W" (I HATED that thing!) sent me running when they tried to WUP up my a$$.
I gave my waves to Larry, and I'm happier for it!
And I showed Mr Slate (subscription, WTF!; homey don't play that!) my full moon as well.
I'm far to old and contentious to put up with a bunch of bullshirt!
Uninstall and find a plug that works without a bunch of happy hoops to jump through

Just sayin'
Hope tomorrow's a better day 'ol pal !

I in turn also abandoned Waves due to all the "hoop jumping"...and there's no looking back...

Right now I've got too many projects and too many favorite plugs to think about abandoning waves entirely. I had no troubles preparing my offline installer tonight at home. I'll keep ya posted as to what happens tomorrow when I try to reinstall all my stuff on the DAW.

They have turned installing plugins into a rocket science.  I'm not a fan of the one installer for plugins.

Back to normal.  Offline process was easypeasy.  Plus now I have (at least for now) all my waves plugs on my keychain flash drive as a backup.  Gonna have to find a way to get faster internet at the studio...without paying for it;-)
 
 

Even with this new Waves Central installer I still have to delete the C:\User\My Account name\appdata\Roaming\Waves folder otherwise it won't install any new plugins. It happily updates existing plugins to new versions but will not add any new ly purchased plugins It's been like that for ages but it only takes a few seconds.

Originally it was only a fix for an installation that went astray. Now I have to use it as part of the installation process.

I used the Waves installer yesterday - I really liked it and it worked flawlessly for me.

What's weird Mudgel, is that when you run Waves Central for the first time to install and or activate any plugin, it's supposed to completely uninstall all your existing plugins.  Then, as I did, you can reinstall all of them using the new system.  Are you saying that when you first ran Waves Central it didn't uninstall all your stuff?
 

That is what I thought, and thought I got from one of the vid's, but it did not do it for me. When I looked into it latter, I believe if you use the Easy install and activate or whatever it is called option, it is supposed to uninstall for you. Didn't bother checking it out, because all went well the method I used.

It may have uninstalled the plugins but not the folder I mentioned where there is a cache of files that sometimes don't get updated. Then when you open a DAw and use a waves plugin you get the "where is Waves Ver 9 xxx folder". But then I just updated my Mercury for the new GW Plugin and this time it worked properly. Maybe just a snafu on original install. It all seems to work fine now. I like this much better than the previous system.

I had to install waves central since I purchased a new plug in, Kramer hls channel.
Followed the directions but now I cannot load my TG12345 plug because it says looking for Waves 9.3 folder.
I thought everything was supposed to move over and update, no telling what other  waves plugs wont load
