![]() ![]() You can use mklink to create a fake c:\VSTGone folder, and tell it the real location. Let's say you have a project that references c:\VSTGone\VSTGone.dll, but either that DLL isn't there anymore or the whole folder is gone because it's been moved to the D: drive to free up space on your system drive. This command creates a pseudo-folder that's actually a pointer to somewhere else. You create a symbolic link using the mklink command, which you run in a DOS window. That's what's great about symbolic links - you still have just one copy of the file, but now the O/S can get to it multiple ways. Yes, you could do that but I wouldn't recommend it because you'll end up with multiple copies and the next time Kontakt is updated you'll be left wondering which of them actually got updated. dll files for 5.8 and 6.6 to every location Cakewalk is currently searching for vst files. It seem that Cakewalk is now confused and associating the plugin to a previous folder location or Kontakt version or perhaps something else.ĭoes anyone know how to make this movie have a happy ending? So the problem doesn't seem to be with the Kontakt plugins I used before not working or being 'found'. I can insert a new Kontakt plugin and use the same library as I did two years before and it works fine. I don't want to jump through hoops getting this running again if I can avoid it. This two year old project has about 90 tracks and a lot of them are Kontakt plugins. It was a slight pain but it got me up and running again quickly. I couldn't be sure I had the same plugin settings if I didn't have a configuration file saved to reload. I would then delete the old Kontakt synth plugin. The easiest solution seemed to be to reload a new Kontakt synth plugin with the same library and redirect the old MIDI to the new plugin. I recall having vst errors with Kontakt in the past or else it loaded but there was no sound. Everything works fine on new projects using either of the installed versions. Now I have Kontakt version 5.8.1 and version 6.6.0 installed. Bandlab is currently updated with the latest version. I was probably only using version 5.8 on this project at the time and not version 6. Over the past two years I believe I moved the vst folders and probably have reinstalled Kontakt again for whatever reasons. I've got a Cakewalk project that's two years old that I want to remix. I've seen this problem before and I know many other people have had the same issues. ![]()
