    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)

    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
