I'm trying to install Waves 12 (any version from January until march) following these instructions:

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
First, Uninstall ALL previous versions of Waves. Preferences, AUs. (Waves Central has an Uninstaller – works fine).
STEP 1: Install Install_Waves_Central.dmg, then run it (is placed in the apps folder), once u run it, close it without try to install anything.
STEP 2: Restart your mac.
STEP 3: Move the install.cen file AND the ‘Data’ folder to: Users / yourname / public / WavesOfflineInstallers folder
STEP 4: Run Waves Central from Applications folder. Turn the internet off first!
STEP 5: Select Continue Offline.
STEP 6: Select Browse.
STEP 7: The Waves Center should default point to the Waves Offline Installers folder in STEP 3, if not, browse to the Users / yourname / public / WavesOfflineInstallers folder directory.
STEP 8: CLICK OPEN.
STEP 9: Select the desired products / bundles (tick the square next to ‘Mac’ and it installs everything) then click Install.
STEP 10: RESTART YOUR MAC.
STEP 11: Run WavesLicenseEngine (Patch folder).
STEP 12: Run ALL Waves AU Reg Utility files in: Applications> Waves> WaveShells V12

Now when I run the Waves AU Reg Utility I get this message:
1. WaveShell1-AU 12.7.component found 0 AU Components in 0 Plug-In files,

Plug-in folder: /Applications/Waves/Plug-Ins V12

And even though the plugins are installed they can't be seen by the Reg Utility neither by the DAW.

Any clue? Thanks

 

I forgot to mention. I had installed the V11, and I don't know why but I had to mount the offline installation on a .dmg in order waves to find the plugins. So I had it automatically mounted every time my Mac started. Can it be the same issue?
At the moment he can actually see only 1 plugin, IR1, but I even didn't installed it! Can it be that there is some leftover of some old Wave installation? (I actually followed a guide here to remove manually all the folders)

 

well, I think your problem is V11, un in stall and re install
im looking for a was 12 Mac that is tested, been a while since I got waves

 

Many users have had troubles with the 2 latest waves releases, delete everything that has to do with waves and install this release Waves.Complete.v12.23.11.20

 

so I kind of solved it even though I don't know what exactly it was. After many uninstalling and reinstalling, I found somewhere in the net to rename the wave folder you copy in /public/ to WavesOfflineInstallers. It kind of worked for me!
I hope this might help someone
Cheers

 

hey DanRamone, where exactly did you rename that WavesOfflineInstallers please? im having same issue.Logic can't see waves plugins.

 

Bump. Having issue of waves plugins not seen by Logic.@DanRamone

 

sounds like terminal DFU is needed

 

It should work without issuse. Is this done via Xcode?
