    New version on sister site and now it's time for one big question.

    How to load libraries in Engine 2 VST without all those File Not Found window?

    Thanks for your answers :)

    It says windows 8+
    Does this mean Win7 is totally out of the question with absolutely no workarounds?

    I have tried and tried. Libraries activeted, Engine running but always wav not found. I'm exhausted. Uninstalled numerous times. Followed all instructions to the letter. Removed all traces of installation. Re-installed but never once have I managed to play a sound.

    All you guys that have it working. Please what is the secret?

    When you load an instrument, you have the authorization window and the missing wav message popping up right? Authorize, then choose to "abort" the search. Now try to load an instrument again : this time it should work!

    It has to be something related to why the *.ytif files are not being recognised and why Engine is searching for wav files.

    I had those "not found" always after activating the libraries, but that was just once, then I clicked on "Ignore All", closed Engine and everything was working properly when I restarted it. Windows 7 here.

    Tried it with Nada, and it’s a nice sounding library, but god it’s a bloody pain to use and not the most intuitive! To be honest, I’m the same with UVI and Play, and wonder if it’s just that I am now so used to Kontakt and the user interface, how to navigate the thing etc?? Thankfully I read the instructions in the comments about how to do stuff, but god it’s not easy to get to grips with.

    Thanks for your tips guys. Tried them all. The program seems to load. Then I get wave: read header no format chunk found! wav file found but can't be loaded. That's as far as I ever get.

    It's a PIA.

    This is from comments on sister site
    —————
    Install Engine.
    Copy Patched EXE
    Copy Patched VST file and copy the .key file within the same vst directory.
    Copy this E-licemse Manager.exe file to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Yellow Tools\E-License Manager
    Every file need to be overwritten. When you dont get the overwrite window,
    you copied to wrong path.
    I had to install Net Framwork 3.5 :( I hate it. But the license manager needs it.
    Google for Net Framework 3.5 offline installier if you need. (~100mb)
    I suggest to restart your machine.

    Open Engine Standalone Exe! Not VST
    Go to Preferneces TAB and add a Library Folder.
    Desert wind Download for example was ISO file. You need to extract it first with winrar.
    Nothing will happen. It shows you the Desert Wind Library in the library Prefernces window.
    Close Preferences
    Go to Browser tab. There you will find your new library. Click until you find your instrument. Now the License manager will open. Paste the serial from sound library keys.txt and the library will be activated.

    The clue is not to use the nice "Load Intrument" button on the left site.
    Then it asks for wav files
    You have to use the Browser Tab in the main windows.
    When you can play some sounds you are fine.

    now you can load up you DAW and scan for Engine VST.

    Thanks RitchieM. I have those instructions and followed them to the letter. Stiil get wav file found but can't be loaded. I get sound but it's the default, beep. I'm done with constantly starting from scratch, deleting all traces, re-installing, just to go through the same routine everytime. There must be some GURU around who knows what's going on, hopefully.

    Must be missing a step, I followed it and it does work. I would just start again from scratch if you think it’s worth it

    I'm using Auidient iD22. I hear the default sound only. Ten I load an instrument get the wav file found but can't load. Recurring nightmare. I have reinstalled 8 times. Same story evertime.

    For Mac users having issues with VEP or similar. You need to either have or create a folder called "VSTPlugin 64-bit" in "C-Program Files-Best Service-Engine 2" and C&P the supplied .dll and .key files into it. Otherwise VEP won't recognise the existing key file and will ask for confirmation every time you open a new instance.

    I got it working first time on my Win 10 laptop, but it was a nightmare on my Win 11 PC. In the end, I found that installing the old .186 version first and then installing this new one over the top of it made it all work. YMMV.
