V5 – Some audio plug-ins missing on re-installation

[Edward Troxel]

Do a full uninstall, delete the Sony folders, and then do a full reinstall.

Thanks Edward
That is what I had done. I deleted the shared plug-ins before reinstalling. The reason being, V5.0d has problem rendering MPEG2 on my w2k systems.

I shall have another go this evening.

Here’s a post that, I think, is talking about the same problem:

That is strange Edward. I did uninstall/reinstall ( not today ). As I mentioned above, I deleted the shared plug-ins folder but did not delete the V5 folder as I wanted to keep the scripts, including Excalibur intact.
I shall try deleting the V5 folder, after moving the scripts, before reinstall. Bit incovinient at the moment as I am in the middle of a project.
This uninstall/reinstall routine is becoming a habit:)

I had a go at doing clean install of V5 after deleting Sony folder. Still EQ and Compressor plug-ins missing.
Any other ideas anyone?

Ok I have got my missing audio plug-ins (Track noise gate, track equaliser and track compressor, back.
Apparantly V5.0b does not register these plug-ins. After several attempts at uninstall/reinstall and running migration tools (register Sony direct X plug-ins) I gave up.

Then I installed V5.0d and the plugins were restored.
So after deleting shared plugins directory, I reinstalled V5.0b. This gave me my missing plug-ins.
