Modus Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Here's the sequence of events: 1. Upgrade to Win8 2. Re-install FL10 3. Re-install plugins in different hard drives 4. Open old projects made in FL9 These project files say my plugins aren't installed. The plugins load fine on their own. I have no way of fixing this if the plugins don't properly open when the project file is first opened. Totally stumped. Thanks for any ideas.

Chimpazilla Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The FL9 projects are looking for the plugins in a certain path which you changed. 1. Move the plugins back to the previous path (sounds like you moved them for a good reason, though). 2. Install a copy of the plugins in question into their previous path. Use to open the FL9 projects, save settings/multis/.fst's, replace the plugins with new instances in the new paths for future use, call up saved settings/multis/.fst's, delete old-path plugins. (unless you *want* two copies of those plugins on your machine) 3. Or, when your FL9 project boots up, load up a new instance of those plugins where the old ones were. The bummer is that your settings/multis/.fst's won't be saved. For Kontakt stuff, you'll just have to point the plugin to wherever you moved your libraries to. If you have Omnisphere and the STEAM folder, well, all bets are off there... Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Covenant Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 When I ran into a problem like this, I just added the hard drive where the plugins/samples were installed before to the browser so FL knew to look there. If you've deleted them from their previous paths, you'll have to restore those installations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 OK thanks. I'll try these fixes out when I get the chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I recommend chimpazilla's #2 option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anterroir Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Or you can just create a junction link and point the "old" plugin folder your new one so you don't have to install twice. -> if you don't want to fuzz with the command prompt -> http://www.rekenwonder.com/linkmagic.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I want to revise my answer. I'm thinking you can just point FL9 to your new paths. I'm sorry I didn't think of that sooner. How silly of me. Hope this is successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
