KVR Audio

I have a ongoing project in Cubase that I used the Reason Rack (from Reason 11 Suite) to include an Antidote. A few days ago I accidently clicked on Reason 11 Intro rather than its daddy to do something in Reason and it said there was an update, so I updated it.
Here's the kicker........
The Cubase project now won't load the Reason Rack with the Antidote (that has a unsaved patch) as it knows that it was the Suite version of the Rack plugin being used in the track rather than the Intro version that appears to have overwritten the Suite version in my VST 3 folder.
I'm going to try and re-install R11 Suite to see if it overwrites the Rack plugin as I can't think of anything else to do, but I thought I should put this up as a warning for Reason rack users with more than one version of Reason on their computer.

Grum.

Similar (but not as bad!) think happened to me, I had 11 installed and upgraded to suite (I assumed it would just overwrite or update the RE's) ...but Suite installed an exact copy of Reason 11 (the only difference is the word suite' on the splash screen as far as I can tell!) so I uninstalled '11' Standard as I didn't need 2 copies of Reason on my SSD...unfortunately uninstalling the original installation uninstalled 'rack' and the only way I could get rack back was a complete re-install of 11 suite...

Re-installing has just worked for me as well - I'm pleased I upgraded my internet recently as it took 5 minutes to download the Suite rather than several times that (nobody has any patience anymore!).
It also didn't overwrite my general set-up so I don't have to mess around with plugin directories etc.
Lesson learnt.

Grum.

Good news, yeh, no big deal, maybe they will sort it with 12 (I would also like to pick where I want packs etc installing!)

You can't, but symlinks work just fine.

Cheers, Yeh, I think I did that with my AKAI MPC packs....

Reason Rack users beware!
