Are the modules in CS separate vst's or are they wrapped in a shell?

Separate VST's.

Poop!

I wasn't paying attention and installed the new VSTs in the generic Vstplugins folder.

Can I create a new folder (T-Racks 3 CS) and move the DLLs there or am I asking for trouble?

I'd uninstall and do it over...

It would be T-Racks 4 CS....and tell it where you want the VST's to go....

You DON'T have to re-install.
Just create a folder (and sub-folders if you like).
TRackS CS is what I used (and re-named the old install TrackS OLD).
These folders can be anywhere you like, just let Sonar "know" (in Plugin Manager) where they are.
I have lots of folders & sub-folders in the main "Vstplugins" folder.
Easier (for me) than using the Plugin Manager organizer.
Waves is the only one that I can't "fix".
It installs one dll that is a "shell" of sorts; I guess.
Don't forget to "re-scan" after any reorganization so Sonar knows where to find everything.
Then its a good time to burn a new "image" of your OS drive.
I NEVER install anything without burning an image; bread crumbs to find my way home...
And burn again if I'm happy with how things turn out.

Thanks gents.

I'll move them.

I do set a restore point before and after any installs. I do image on a regular basis. The problem is that some of the uninstallers don't remove the dlls from their destination folder which is not always on the OS drive. Imaging and restore points don't help in that situation either unless I set restore points and image the destination drive as well.

Some software is friendly moving dlls while others aren't.

There's never a simple solution to any of these installs or uninstalls.

Again, thanks.

CSR is indeed 64 bit now. The update is a free one, but now its done through the T-Racks Custom Shop. You need to "restore your gear" like you do in the AmpliTube Custom Shop. It will automatically install the 64 bit version. You CAN use it outside of the shell as well.

The computer that I want to install to is offline. I have TRacks Deluxe, CSR, ARC. Can you give me a tip to where I might find info on how to update/upgrade my stuff using TRacks Custom Shop. I have already installed TRacks CS on my offline computer. Thanks for the help. Milt. EDIT: I have done offline Custom Shop gear installs with Amplitube, but need a little help doing the same with TRacks CS.

The "Custom Shop" requires that you be online? (I think maybe it does, never done any CS stuff with Amplitude)
I had the DAW in the office to run Windows Update and update MS Essentials (been 2 years).
So I ran the CS install, authorization, and "Restore my Gear" online.
Obi should chime in and let us know!

In order to use the Custom Shop, you do need to be online. Same if you are trying out new gear before you buy. You can move your purchases to an offline computer just like you can with AmpliTube.
