Hey guys. I installed Melda on my Mac without any issues but trying it on my Windows 10 pc I am having some trouble. Please see attached screenshot:

Where did you get those files? When you download it here https://www.meldaproduction.com/downloads, you get a file called "maudioplugins_14_16_setup.exe" to install.

That 'setup' executable is actually the uninstaller. As Held mentions you should run an installer called maudioplugins_14_16_setup.exe and during that setup process you specify where your plugin folder(s) are located (it's on the installer page immediately after you've selected what plugins you want to install)

I had the exact same issue, and this didn't help at all. So after figuring out what I was missing, I guess would be nice to share it here:
The exec's in OP's screenshot are the ones maudioplugins_14_16_setup.exe always installs by default when you run it. For actual plugins you have to select the appropiate plugin interfaces in "components you want to install" selection that comes before the list of individual plugins.
It's kind of confusing since you always get the same list of all plugins, but if you haven't selected the interface to install for the plugins you want, they won't install and installer doesn't tell you anything about it. Nor does it say anywhere which interface you need for which plugin (VST, VST3,AAX etc...).

From the main installer, select the plug-ins you wish to install. Since most if not all hosts support VST3, install only those. VST3 plug-ins install to a standard location, so you don't have to be concerned with choosing a folder.Jacew wrote: Mon Jan 15, 2024 7:18 pm It's kind of confusing since you always get the same list of all plugins, but if you haven't selected the interface to install for the plugins you want, they won't install and installer doesn't tell you anything about it.

MAGIX lagged somewhat on supporting VST3, so if you have an older version of Vegas Pro or Sound Forge, you may need to install the VST2's.
If you're using Pro Tools, install the AAX versions.
