Hi everybody!

I recently upgraded my setup and got a new computer, so I just wanted to install my DAW and the plugins I was already using on my previous computer on the new one. I moved from FL 12 on a Windows 7 system to FL 20 on a Windows 10 system, and I managed to install and recognize all the plugins I was using on my previous system on the new one but the XLN Audio ones (Addictive Keys and RC-20).
When I go in the FL plugin manager to scan the XLN Audio plugins dlls once I install them, I get an error box and when I try to run them I get another one pointing that there is "no GUI boot found", then the plugin starts but the graphics interface isn't working, so I just can't use them.
I looked for a solution and found some threads about Addictive Drums users who are getting a similar error and who are talking about the library placer so I removed and uninstalled all of the files, then tried again considering this but I get stuck at the same point with this "no GUI boot found" error each time I'm trying to install RC-20 or Addictive Keys.
I know that the problem isn't coming from my DAW because I get the same error when I want to launch Addictive Keys standalone version (black box instead of the usual interface), so I'm just thinking it comes from my system...
If anyone has a solution or a similar experience, I would really appreciate to get some help on this!

Thanks
(and sorry for my english if it isn't perfect, I'm not native )

 

I have the same Problem. I also bought a new Laptop. I installed the rc20 retro color and also got the same error message yesterday.

 

That feels so bad to get a perfectly working computer then not being able to use your old usual stuff :/

 

Same problem, No GUI boot found for Addictive Drums or Keys plug-ins after a PC repair and W10 reinstall. Same error message pops up when I open the installer, which leaves me clueless as to how to proceed. Sure would be nice if someone could offer a suggestion.

 

I´m not sure, but if I remember right, I´ve had this proplem with Addictive Drums long time ago.
The solution was: start DAW with Adminrights.

 

had the issue here aswell sometime ago and @Lemmy is correct.
that goes for other vendors besides XLN.

 

I remember using RC20 crack on FL20 on Win10 without problems. Probably a win10 problem. Just try updating...

 

The problem is rather FL20 I think,the last 2 weeks we have seen many threads about FL20 not recognizing a plugin.

 

There's an "AD_Library_Placer.exe" which lets you set the directory in that folder

 

To update my own situation: I returned to my initial download, extracted the zipped file and re-installed (drums and keys) using the included installer app. DAW rescanned plug-ins and the GUIs were restored. That seems a very straightforward solution to the problem.

 

On a kind of related topic, retro color was accumilation 16 GB! in log files located in documents and settings On my pc.
anybody noticed the same?

 

That's probably a bug in retro color

 

Seem to be going around in circles with these XLN Audio installers. i remember last time i used it i got it to work, but it just wont install properly. if i stick the library placer in ProgramData, it will open the GUI but the plugin wont work because it says the file is located in my VST folder, but if i place the library placer in the VST folder, the binaries break and it complains it has no GUI. even if you then put the library placer in Program Data again, it still says it is missing binaries and you have to uninstall it again, only to be stuck at the same spot with the GUI opening, but the plugin outputting no sound

Admin rights makes no difference in any DAW i tried it in and PD

Some of these newer R2R cracks are absolutely shit

 

i had the same when i forgot to run AD_Library_Placer.

 

That is a statement that is not true. Surely you are annoyed.

1.) Un-install
2.) Clean your PC from installation residues
3.) Setup.exe
4.) After you have installed - copy the library to where you have space and click on the " library placer " in the library folder.
5.) Scan your system for new plugins.

 

Thats the point.

The library placer has to be run where the library is located at, and nowhere else. I got no problems at all running all of the latest R2R XLN releases on different Win10 machines.

 

this doesn't make the slightest bit of difference

I don't think you fully read the steps i had tried already as this is exactly the procedure i did as outlined in the R2R .txt file. it's a song and dance between, having the GUI show up but it not outputting sound, or you put the library placer where it supposed to be and the GUI does not boot which breaks the whole installer

I am a bit annoyed mostly because this is something i have found pretty common with a lot of the recent R2R installers. take Falcon for instance. randomly crashes when you insert a certain number of channels. i think i saw somebody claim that this happens with the legit version which isn't true because i own it. i mostly just use cracks so i don't have to have shitty ILOK drivers running on my portable setup at home( i don't run cracks in my studio) which is temperamental with certain drivers (ILOK being one of them)most of the time though i just find i am having to run the legit versions and deal with the performance issues since the R2R releases are wholly unreliable

There's also an issue with their Liquidsonics cracks which i own a couple of em, and they don't randomly crash whilst browsing presets. all of the R2R ones do and i've seen other people point this out as well

there's also a couple of others which have somewhat trivial issues like randomly unregistering themselves even when no internet connection is present (the R2R keygen for Audiothing plugins for example)

 

The library IS located in Program Data....if i put it there then the plugin doesn't work, but has a GUI with the complaint about the binaries being located in the wrong folder. i already pointed this out

 

XLN Audio Releases 2017 or later

Before the installing XLN releases,uninstall everything from XLN. Because of the severe installation structure,
you cannot use older releases before 2017. Also you cannot install aside the legit version.

1.) Install all lastest XLN release you need.
2.) If release contains *.iso library, copy the included folder to HDD and run *_Library_Placer.exe.
3.) Run our keygen.
4.) Input ComputerID if you know, or click "Get" then our keygen calculates the ID.
5.) Click "Register" to activate all software.
Enjoy!
