The updates have caused Platinum to hang during VST search and even the old dlls no longer work...I posted this over at KVR but figured you all might have some thoughts... thanks in advance!
"This afternoon I downloaded the 1.8 and 2.0.2 updates and applied them to my win7 64 system Sonar Platinum DAW and all but AGT2 and AGM2 now hang in scan search. I've spent hours and am at a loss. Even the old dlls no longer work... I've searched for duplicate dlls and reinstalled the update several times and as soon as I remove the dlls, Sonar scans fine.
I'm putting Ample on the shelf for now as this has taken too much time. I assume a full reinstall of both the old AGT and AGM might be in order as well as AGG and AGF. But for now, I'm moving over to Orange trees Stratosphere/Strawberry/EAG. I don't know why things are hanging and everything worked fine before the updates. I have used these vsts in several songs and they are dead in the water now.
Do I need to do an uninstall of everything, just use windows uninstall (I tried this for AGM and appied the update but it still hung), or what...
Can I do a complete reinstall and will that overwrite the old setup and hopefully fix the problem?
I haven't actually tried AGT2 an AGM2 yet as this has taken the evening but I will tomorrow. However I want the originals to work also and they are now hanging up Sonar's vst Scan..."
I am rather frustrated with Ample at this point. I've enjoyed the sound on several songs but their help system sucks, there are issues, and maybe it's just the fun I've been having with Greg's new engine... They were not cheap and hope I can get this sorted....Oh and the installer seems to put the dlls in amples folder along with everything else no matter that I told the installer where to put them. They hang no matter where I put them...
Thanks, all in advance.
