Careful, making a suggestion to do things correctly first time tends to get some kids worked up. Guess this is the difference between the experienced users that learned this and don't have problems at the moment and those that have to roll back or wait for another update. Prob is, no one these days want's to hear about suggestions on how to keep things tidy to avoid potential issues like this occurring.
Yeah totally agree, seems to be the new pandemic here.

This is why you don't see me around here anymore too often.....
No thanx for helping, only snarls in the end......
I find Live still very interesting, and is my DAW of choice, but the forum is taking itself down this way "middlefingering" other people!

Same here, been slowly withdrawing from this forum, although have been rather busy, doing lots exciting audio beta testing recently.
Used to frequent NI forums, but since their forum revamp, which I don't like, not been there since.

Nice to see users unhelpfully trolling these threads. Bottom line is that many plugins can only be installed to a default path. UAD being a major one. I would suggest that Ableton rollback and allow us to simply use shortcuts again, instead of expecting us to tediously copy stuff over and bloat laptop hardrives with gigs-worth of unnecessary data.
Please trolls don't even bother replying to me! STFU!

Not true, the huge vast majority of installers will allow the user to define the installation folder, with very few minor exceptions with Waves being one. But they are the only one I have personally experienced. Maybe you should be asking UAD why they dont allow you to chose your own installation path.

Hey all, I think everyone has stated their views on then topic pretty well by now. Let's stop calling each other trolls and just move on to other topics.
We've already said the VST2 issue is going to be addressed in an upcoming beta release shortly.

Maybe do something about forum trolls too then?

I'm telling everyone to chill out, it's not worth arguing over.

I think the truth is we've been under a pandemic for a couple years now. People are edgy.
Must make moderating fun.

For those having issues with VST2 and VST3 plug ins in custom directories, the latest beta released today addresses that:
- Fixed an issue that caused scanning VST plug-ins from Live’s Preferences on Apple Silicon computers to take longer than expected.
- Scanning VST2 and VST3 custom folder paths now works as expected.
