Need help with the Windows VST Update


If you are experiencing the following error with the VST update:

"Unable to get the name of the [Product Name].dat file"

Please do as follows:

  1. Download the necessary Spectrasonics Updater AND Spectramove.exe.
  2. First, run Spectramove and choose to MOVE the data (.dat) file to the same location where it is currently located (this re-writes the corrupt Registry entry).
  3. Secondly, run the Updater, following its prompts.
  4. Within Windows Explorer, go to C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins. (the Updater creates this file structure).
  5. Cut and paste the updated Spectrasonics .dll files and .dat shortcuts within C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins to the actual Vstplugins folder you are currently using for your sequencer. (If you are using Sonar or Project 5, you will want to run Cakewalk’s Adaptor 4 again)

Let us know if you experience any problems.
