Old VSTs under Win7/64Bit

[rs3d]

I would like to use some old VSTs in Live 8 under Windows 7/64
but even though I copied the specific files to the system32 folder
they don't appear in Live. Any hints?

Live does not currently support 64 bit vsts. If you find a 32 bit version, that should work.

These are old 32bit VSTs, not 64Bit, just Windows 7 is.
Due to the different system folder handling I guess this
doesn't work, but maybe someone has a general comment
how to make old VSTs run.

make a folder in C:\ called VST..

copy files there..

direct Live to look in that location for VSTs..

Why you would be putting any VSTs into your System32 folder I have no clue.. but I can only imagine issues with rights and privileges by doing so.

I know how to install VSTs, but these ones need additional DLLs that need to
be in a system folder. I put them there, I also tried the VST folder itself,
but Live still doesn't recognize them. Please try it yourself, in general
I know what I'm doing

Noticed this on the page you linked..

If you do use them, let me know how you get on (jez[at]jezwells[dot]org) and report any bugs or problems so I can look into how they might be resolved in future versions.

The index says the page was last updated Feb 2nd 2012.. so chances are pretty good for being able to contact the author to report any bugs or problems.

I'm going to assume this is a problem isolated to his VSTs and not a concern for VSTs that don't require extra dlls.

Have you tried any other VST hosts apart from Live?

That's the answer of the developer

Put the Intel NSP .dll files in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 instead of C:\Windows\System32
and the effect's .dll files in a folder outside of Program Files ... such as C:\VstPlugins

Tell us if this works and if it does, e-mail the developers so they can instruct their users.
