    Try installing my version first. If it still freezes, then the problem isn't with the software, but with your PC.

    Oh really? Extract the .dll from this H2O release and see if it works "Dash Signature ComboSister VSTi 1.40"
    It doesn't. I can get the installer to work but the extracted .dll is useless.

    for these old sytrns Java SE 8. The .NET Framework 4.8 are non needed
    all other rubish you dont need too, only VC++ runtimes

    Post me in PM the files I'll look what installer does and we shall do all of that needed manually

    Most likely, the installer adds the key to the registry itself.

    Well, but unpacker on your DASH release worked ok. And installer worked for me too:) I was talking only about unpakers and it was just the first step and the easiest for the topic starter

    I'm actually having this EXACT same problem, but with a hypersonic 1 install instead that's still from the H2O team. Whenever I open it, it freezes while the setup opens and stays frozen. upload_2025-12-30_11-12-18.png

    No worries, whenever you got time.

    it's probably a vc++ distributable I don't have or something like that

    Having the EXACT same problem again. Once more, it's a H2O release. It's the Waves Diamond Bundle v5.2 upload_2026-4-15_11-26-3.png

    Do you need the Mono Stereo Version?
    then it could als work with the last Stereo mono Version
    maybe younger than this release (you are using)

    The program is from January 9, 2011, and is from H2O.
    It's too old and no longer works on modern systems like Windows 10 and 11. Please install a newer version of Waves.

    As old warez are being discussed i had a issue a couple of days ago with
    IZotope.pHATmatik.PRO.v1.52.VSTi beat

    Crack works fine but I can't get it to load samples the internal browser doesn't show all locations and theres no drag and drop using it with jbridge win11 live12 if anyone knows why? Is it just to old for my system?I wish izotope kept it updated

    Does the VST have a name? You should include it in your title. It's simple common sense.

    my guess is that it relates to windows changing what is shown when apps are (and are not) run in administrator mode, but that's just a guess

    Installed on Windows 11 and it still works!

    For 32-bit plugins, I recommend installing an older 32-bit DAW, such as:

    PreSonus - Studio One v2.6.5 Win x83 (Build on Dec 2, 2024)
    or
    Image Line - FL Studio v11.1.1 - 19.09.2024 - 32 Bit Version

    Please note: before installing, create a separate folder for the plugins to avoid conflicts.

    The reason i'm trying to install this old version oft the waves bundle is because I have a project that someone worked on from 2006 that uses the very old version of waves's effects. not the newer versions.

    I even have my windows 11 run as admin as a daily driver.
    Like in the old days.
    Thanks for mentioning OTVDM, I didn't know about that useful tool.

    You will be more successful with Windows 7; remember your operating system from back then?

    First off - Make certain that the anti-virus (or the compatibility agent) isn't screwing you over and stopping things dead in their tracks. If you do grab the individual .DLL's and place them manually and they happen to be 32bit vst's you'll be hard pressed to get them to work with any modern DAW's without j-bridging them to 64bit VST wrappers.
