Why can I not access my Vst's?

I have several vst's installed on my system. When I open open up Cubase I can use all of my Vst's.

When I open up Ableton Live the only Vst it let's me use is EZDrummer. Do I have to tell Ableton "where" my Vst's are? How do I go about this?

Did you set which folder for Live to find the VSTs under preferences yet?
I'm guessing "no".

Although I would not necessarily suggest sharing Cubase's VST folder (you can), as CUbase can use mono-plugins while Live can't. In some cases, plugins that are OK in Cubase make Live unstable...

I suggest copying dll's over to Live's VST folder.

Again, this folder is named and changed under Preferences
