    Hey guys,

    before installing can you guys help me understand this a little better. I have just downloaded the sunny version (10+GB)

    Its been over a year since i installed my waves so i guess i need this version for all the sound content for the instruments?

    Secondly, i noticed in the comments that someone said this is not a scene release and does not include the latest VR patch, what does all this actually mean? the version appears to have 3 VR patches why is that? and which should be used?

    Also do i need to uninstall my old waves first and can anyone confirm this is working on pc fine particularly with cubase?

    thanks guys

    Uninstall the previous version, then install the new one.
    The installation of the Waves central takes a long time, do not stop it and let it run

    I managed to install Waves Central on my Mac successfully without any issues. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same on their PC version. When I tried to install the latest releases with the VR patches the install goes through but the plugins are not seen in any of my DAWS on my PC. At least for me the only version that works was the one released by R2R.

    I've posted in several threads requesting assistance on how to successfully install those VR versions but no one seems to know or share the information.

    The one I managed to install on my Windows laptop was Waves.Complete.v2017.11.28.Incl.Patched.and.Keygen.HAPPY.NEW.YEAR-R2R. It only has the plugins, but you can download the sound libraries directly from the Waves website. Hope this helps.

    Okay, so. It's really simple. First, you download Waves Central, official from their website. No point downloading it elsewhere because it won't work if it detects there's an update available. You login to a Waves account (can be an empty one, no problem). Install whatever you feel like. Then after you're done you need the patch. Waves_Complete_9.92_patch.exe used to work flawlessly, but the latest update with NKS they seem to have changed something, so you must use Waves_Complete_9.92.50_patch.exe. It might also need then copying the VST from C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Waveshells to your VST folder, but it might not, can't remember exactly. Anyway. Don't bother downloading one of these ridiculous (looks like we'll be having these every month or so till the end of the universe, with the same patch copy-pasted) 12 GB uploads made my reflink money vultures, you can download official just what you need and have a clean install that way.

    Thank you, yes i only realized later that you can install from the waves. but now i think i have some registry issues and have no idea where to start to fix it. i have Also in add / remove programs i have a waves complete that is 5.10GB that i cannot uninstall. It says waves unins0000.dat does not exist?

    I feel like i need to get rid of that to get started.
