VSTI files (.dll) not showing up in Plug-In folder.

Hey guys, this is an interesting dilemma. I have a bunch of .dll files in my plugin folder and yes, some of them show up, but most others such as native instruments stuff like absynth massive, or even lexicon reverbs etc. don't show (oddly enough, kontakt 5 is visible). What could this probably be? I know everything is installed properly, help would be appreciated! thanks a bunch.

It IS strange...
Are these the 32bit versions or the 64bit versions?
64bit VST's won't show up in Live.

Wow! I can't believe i didn't think about that ( sorry i'm pretty new to all of this! ) Thanks a lot!.. Is there anyway you can switch between the VSTIS of 64 bit and 32 bit with a click of a button? It's hard having to constantly go back and forth between two folders since not all my plugins are 64 bit.

I suppose that the best would be to put 32 and 64 bit plugins to separate folders or that is how I did it. Just in case to avoid problems.

Btw. I used to have the same problem even with 32 bit plugins for some very mysterious reason. Never knew why but usually Live found the plugin eventually when I put it to different folder in the VST hierarchy.
