    Excuse me Jynx,I didn't write that for you.
    I never sent a PM on this site,sorry if I did an error...I didn't know how to do that.
    I'm not English too,I don't speak it very very well so.
    Also I didn't respond quickly because my internet connection didn't work anymore...Because I didn't get enough money to pay my bill. So I didn't write wrong thingies when I said I couldn't buy Serum these days.

    Otherwise I have resolved my problem to update Serum.
    Before updating Serum I deleted in my vst folder the "XFer Serum" folder. But I had two folders whith "Serum.dll" files!! I had an other one in my vst folder called "Serum XFer" that I didn't see among my others vst....That was the problem...

    To finish I didn't know that asking a question about a warez software was so bad appreciated on this site.I won't write a thread like this again.

    Many thanks for the ones who tried to help me.

    It is not. Just IGNORE those who are of not helping. Don't respond.. like they say: don't feed the troll. It's the same here as in your real life. Sometimes it's hard but you must get used to those who are telling you BS.

    You'll always find ppl that will help you. Glad to hear you sorted it out! :hifive:

    my mistake /my mistake and i do apologise....btw no need to apologise over responce time as its all fine..It can be difficult at times to kn ow whos talking to whom if this makes sense and i clearly got it wrong, But I didn't know that asking a question about a warez software was so bad appreciated on this site.I won't write a thread like this again. " you did nothing wrong whatsoever i assure u ,unless im very much mistaken,"this has been a safe place for questions etc etc and you should NOT have been made to feel like that" Sadly this isnt always the case...Last thing ok bro...If i in any way said or did something to have offended anyone on this thread it was not my intention ,or if i made you feel uncomfortable SquareDjay in any way i truly apologise if i made any one ever feel that way the same applies aand have had issues responding to pms for help this week, as im experiencing network problems bigtime and i have to shut down my internet completelu when programming,so often i will come back every 2 hours ,maybe i shouldt do that i dunno ....wish you a good day and again as i said above my friend:like:

    You must remove all registry entries, data, everything related to Serum and reinstall. My W7 Pro x 64 system has 424 Keys and 102 Data items just for Serum 1.214.Sometimes it is best thing to install demo and remove it with Revo uninstaller or just use a Registry scanner like RegScanner 2.30 which is free. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/regscanner.html

    1073 is a magic number in audio, like 1176. Is it a sign?

    You have to copy the plugin files manually into your vst dirs if the installer doesn't work for you.
    Run 7zip, open the installer in it as archive, extract the files and copy/move them into your VST dir.

    If you don't know your VST path, open regedit and navigate to
    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VST -> VSTPluginsPath
    and if you're on a 64Bit OS, then also to
    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VST -> VSTPluginsPath
    You also can use this little batch script I wrote (works on Win 7 and 8 - don't know about 10):
    Get VST Paths.zip

    edit:
    There's also a Serum installer pref in the registry under
    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\XferRecords\SerumInstallerPrefs -> InstallDirVst32 & InstallDirVst64
    So I changed the script for the serum paths only:
    Get Serum VST Paths.zip

    Thanks r4e, good info... After fighting with reg SEEKER for hours, I used reg SCANNERto properly clean the registry of EVERYthing Serum related.. then also changed the vst path from vstplugins to vstplugins\Xfer having done that, after a fresh install of the latest version.. everything was fine.

    Thanks everyone for your time.
