We've been through this a lot over the years, both with Newfangled Audio and Eventide. The problem is that Program Files\Steinberg doesn't exist for people who don't have Cubase installed. We could create it, but that's confusing for the majority of plug-in users who don't use Cubase. We've actually experimented with using a PATH variable at Eventide, but it created problems for users who set it incorrectly the first time and weren't able to change it. I wish there was a standard Windows VST2 plug-ins directory as much as you do (probably more), but in the absence of one we've found that it's best to do what is easiest for novice users and explicitly ask users to set it on install. I realize that puts more burden on people who know what the deal is, but it makes life much easier for newer users. This will all finally sort itself out once we're all on VST3.
