VST scan hangs in Vegas 14

jerry-tubbs wrote on 12/3/2017, 11:30 AM

I can't open Vegas 14 now in Win 7. It was working before, but now hangs up as it scans the VSTs, usually on Kontakt, but others, too. I know win 7 has updated the virus definitions but I don't think Win has done any updates to itself. Of course, I can't stop the scan until Vegas opens and I don't need Vegas for audio. Note: I keep this music/video computer off line except when updating or adding. I believe Vegas is build 211 - I bought and installed it earlier this year. Funny, I get plenty of adds (esp. this Dec.) from majix but nothing about Vegas updates. Any ideas?

Update to build 270. Links in this post, or use this direct link.

If you still have trouble you could move all your VSTs out of your VST folder(s) then put them back in gradually until you find the ones giving trouble. Your VSTs might be in these folders:

  • C:\Program Files\Vstplugins\
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstplugins\
  • C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins\
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\Vstplugins\

Thanks. Like I said, it hangs on different ones. Build 27, here I come.

- This applies to Sound Forge as well. I have had some VSTs that caused problems.

Vegas 7 and SF 9 have no problems with vsts - cross my fingers.

Thanks all. There was a double VST dll that seemed to be the problem. Solved now.
