These files should not be moved. Instead, a WaveShell is placed in your host application's plugins folder. The WaveShell connects your host application to the plugins as a software gateway. Default locations. During installation, the WaveShell-VST is placed in these default locations: Windows: 64-bit — C: Program Files VSTPlugins. This is a bad thing, because nearly all my projects use several plug-ins from Waves. A plug-in rescan in Maschine does not help - as it always needs to be done when buying new stuff from Waves. The folling screen is shown in Maschine Since the update there are two WaveShell dlls in the VST folder. This file (WaveShell-VST3 9.3x64.vst3) was also in C: Program Files Common Files VST3 I think SONAR is finding the 'WaveShell-VST 9.3x64.dll' file in the VST3 folder and using the PlugIns in the 'Plug-Ins V9' folder that is in the VST3 folder but I have no idea if I am using the VST3 version of the plugins!?!?!

After I upgraded to Cubase 9 and went “totally 64bit” I had a problem with my DAW not finding the 54 Waves plugins. I also had the same problem with Maschine and Waves.

A quick search on the forums showed that this is a common issue but there is lots of disagreement about how to actually fix it.

The problem occurs because both 32bit and 64bit Waves plugins all sit in the same folder within Program Files (x86) – a location normally used for 32bit stuff!

Try as you may by pointing your DAW to the right location, both Cubase and Maschine were not having it!

I tried lots suggestions before finally discovering a post on the Steinberg Forums by user KurtOzzthat did the trick – actually instructions from Waves support:

Uninstall All Products via Waves Central:
In Waves Central go to Install->Uninstall Products (at the top).
Choose all the products click ‘Uninstall’.
