Hi,
Just installed the Waves.Complete 2017.07.10.WIN Release from V.R. Installed all the plugins through the Waves Central setup, installed both the patches successfully. I also replaced the patched vst's with original vst's by replacing them. But, when I'm scanning the plugins in REAPER. REAPER is asking for the Waves plugins folder V9. I've tried every possible folder of Waves but still, it shows the same dialogue box. I've also attached the picture below.
Also I'm not sure as to why it is asking for 9.91 version where it has searched for the 9.7 version of the VST.
Help me!

Was it working before the update?

 

I didn't update. This was a fresh install. Previously, it was working.

 

So you had a perfectly functional working version previously installed. What was in the update that was so desirable? I'm sorry, I have no advice that will fix it. I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I wrote in the comments of the last 3.4GB download that people should think about whether it's necessary to risk a working copy for one new plugin. I can only advise, go back to the last working version and start over. I'd like to help, but I don't know Reaper or PC'S.

 

I didn't only install it for the CLA mixdown, needed some other plugins coz I haven't updated waves from ages.

 

Then please accept my apology. Sorry, I can't help you

 

(for 64 bit windows, I do not know what differences you'll find for 32 bit, sorry)

1) uninstall waves completely
2) goto 'regedit' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432Node/ remove the whole 'Waves' folder
3) Close regedit
4) check drive for any Waves/Waves Audio/WPAPI folder or file which may remain (and delete all) from either:-


C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files\Common Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
C:\ProgramData
C:\Users\'your name'
C:\Users\'your name'\AppData\Local
C:\Users\'your name'\AppData\Roaming


5) Execute attached Install_Waves_Central.exe & install it
6) Run c:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Applications\Waves Central\Waves Central.exe
7) Press "Install Product" => "Select offline installer" => Choose "*\Waves\" => "Move all" => Install
8) Press INSTALL button & relax
9) Apply Waves_Complete_patch.exe


Note:- 9.91 is the folder which contains a few of the newer additions. You want that folder too


Note also, this is for 64bit Windows 7. I cannot tell you how to remove files from other variants, although it may be the same for 10
