Yes, because it can be faster to do a selective deletion method, rather than a selective installation method. And then after this another trick might be to open the DAW's Plugin Manager, see if there is a way to view or sort by manufacturer, and then by version number. Screenshot it if you can't copy a list. Test the ones you are unsure about if they need AVX or not, make a list for yourself of what to delete this time and again if needed in the future. Process of elimination. Might take an hour. Here we are four days after the first post.

 

ok, so i have downloaded a 2022 vr version.
there are 2 folder,licenses and waves,in waves there is install waves central, and install.cen and a data folder
there is also a licenses folder containing waveslicenseenginebundle
any pointers on what to do here to avoid doing installing incorectly?

 

Simply install and then go to Wave Central on the desktop and in Wave Central you can then select the plugins you need!

 

thanks
