Sylenth not appearing as a Live 8 Plugin

[leaky]

Hi,

I've recently upgraded my PC and I've installed windows 7 x64 as my OS. I've got Ableton 8.1 working and every VST i've installed works fine, but for some reason I can't get Sylenth to appear/work as a plugin in Live. I've tried installing both the x86 and x64 versions of Sylenth and still had no luck, I've even tried installing the demo versions and now I'm a total loss. So if anyone could give me some help on this I'd greatly appreciate it...

Specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Intel i5 760 @ 4 x 2.8ghz
4GB DDR3 RAM
Ableton 8.1

Ableton Live is a 32bit (x86) host, so it can not run 64bit (x64) plug-ins. You must install ONLY the 32bit version of Sylenth1. If you installed the 64bit version also, please uninstall it.

Hi,

Im using Windows 7 x64 with Live Suite 8.2 and Sylenth V2.2 32bit perfectly here.
Like Lennard said,Live is a 32bit host therefore you must install Sylenth 32bit.
Works a dream though..

@Lennard

Thanks for the help the other day

Ya I'm aware that it's a 32 host and I said in my post that i've tried both the 32bit and 64bit versions and there's still nothing.

I suppose I could try upgrading live? But I don't really see how that would help. Or would it?

This is a Live-related issue. Simple fix:

1. Delete your Live preferences file (found in C:\[user folder]\Roaming\Ableton
2. Take Sylenth1.dll OUT of the VSTPlugins folder
3. Launch Live
4. Exit Live
5. Put Sylenth1.dll back in the VSTPlugins folder
6. Launch Live

Try deleting your Ableton preferences and the my above procedure.

..did you launch live as administrator if not, then try that

I will try this as soon as I get home. what would be the reason I would have to do this though?

No problem here in Live 8.2.1 with Sylenth. Win Vista 64, UAC turned off and no Virus protection on.

I tried removing the files and running as administrator still no result.

Have you uninstalled the 64-bit version, as Lennard (who created the plug-in) said to do? You haven't actually told whether you did that, just deleted a .dll file.

I had the same problem when installing the 64 bit version on Windows 7 64 bit with Live 8. It wouldn't show up in Live plugins. I uninstalled Sylenth 64 bit, rebooted my computer, then reinstalled 32 bit Sylenth. It showed up when I loaded Live.
