However, i have tried MuLab on 3 different PCs with Vista 64bit and Win7 64bit, but of none from them is it possible to use 32bit VST DLLs within MuLab 64bit
But then why does it work on other systems?
It could be that you make 3 times the same mistake.
I'm not saying you're making a mistake, i don't know that.
I'm just saying that the fact that it doesn't work for you on 3 different computers does not prove that there is something wrong with MuLab or jBridge.

Another test you could do is try using those jBridged plugins in another 64 bit app. Does it work there? If yes, then are you using the exact same procedure all the time? Lets try to narrow things down.
Thank's for your support!
This sounds cynical, or do i have a wrong impression here?

I dont own Mulab or Dune, but Ive just installed the demo versions of Mulab, Dune and jbridge, and I can confirm that I get the "Exception while creating aeffect for DUNE.64.dll" error too. (FWIW, I was also getting it for Alchemy and Reaktor)

However if I run MuLab as administrator, DUNE.64.dll loads properly.

Since the native x64 version of DUNE.dll worked fine, it makes me think that its perhaps the permissions of what jbridge is creating?

My expectation for a solution could not be fulfilled and the answers of all the last questions which i have posted already before, but i will not repeat me everytime and turning around.

I have testet DUNE.DLL 32bit and 64bit version with Cubase LE 6 64bit and in both cases i can load these VST DLLs without any problem, only jBridged DLLs won't work.

Thank's for your great idea!
I've also run MuLab as administrator an load jBridged VST DLL without any error. But running software with administrator rights is not realy safe and opens security risks.

Its not ideal, I agree, but Ive found there are some plugins which wont run at all without running as administrator or UAC disabled and other, older applications, which have issues, so I do so as needed. And many people have their DAW PCs off the internet, so its not an issue for them.

I suspect that modifying the permissions for the 'bridged' directory and its files may also solve the issue.
