Hi, latest R2R-wave plugins (shell2vst) are not showing up in my DAW (Studio One 2 and Samplitude Pro X2).
It worked with waveshell. Then I did the shell2vst in a separate folder outside my VST-folder and moved some VST .dll into my VST-folder, but they don't show up. This procedure worked before on Win8.1 - now I'm on Win10 (latest version) both x64 systems.

Any hint? Thanks!

 

I still don't use 'Windows 10' ('Windows 8.1' - 64bit), but maybe the fact that you have done the 'shell2vst' in a separate folder, and above all, outside your 'VST Folder' could be the cause of your trouble, despite you told that : "This procedure worked before on Win8.1 - now I'm on Win10 (latest version)."

Normally, when you use 'shell2vst' to create '.dll' Versions of your Waves Plugins, this procedure creates a specific 'Waves' Folder (including all the 'waveshellized' Plugins), and maybe here's your failure, I mean, to move any of the Waves Plugins included in that specific Folder, thus can't be found when launching 'Waves' within your DAW...

 

What I do is leave the WaveShells where they are within C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Waveshells and then drag and drop the x64.dll's onto the shell2vst app (64 bit onto 64 bit, and shell2vst running as admin to allow it to create a folder within your C:\Program Files folder).

This creates a Waves folder within the Waveshells folder then. I then use that as the source and create a junction in my plugins folder to that, note i said junction, not shortcut. That then works like a dream. I use this app to create junctions easily. You simply right click on the 'Waves' folder created within the C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Waveshells\, select pick link source, then go to your desired location (I use C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins\ for my plugins), right click in there and select drop as junction.

It then essentially is as easy as creating a shortcut, but is actually creating a hard link junction automatically for you.

Run it as an administrator...

 

Thank you all for taking the time to help!

I must have done smth wrong.. but now it's working!
What I did:
1. I did the 'shell2vst' inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Waveshells
2. It crerated a new Waves folder with all the .dll Wave-Plugs
3. Moved this new Waves folder into my VST 64bit folder where I already have a Waves folder with WaveShell VST 9.x_x64.dll
(The structure has to be like this: 'my vst folder'/Waves/Waves (with the single .dll vst)
4. Moved the .dll I don't need out of my vst folder to somewhere else. If I need another Waves plugin I can just move it into my vst folder and its showing up in my DAW.

Thanks again and take care!
