For some VST's you need a specific folder structure for them to work correctly eg the example below shows where the DSK Analog Matrix DLL and jpg image are in the root of my VST folder, as shown in the first image below, and the presets etc are in a folder which must be the same name as shown in the second image. Jun 23, 2016 How to extract a.dll VST file from an installer I have bought a few VST plugins for my Samplitude producer mastering software, for Windows 7 and have no clue how to extract the.dll file. Share Reply Quote. Windows can't open this file: File: example.vst3 To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it.

I got AmpliTube 4 to work in standalone mode by removing version 4.03 and installing version 4.02 in it's place. Osx
MacTo get Amplitube 4 working as a plug-in, the two files you need to copy into your host plug-ins folder are:
1. C:Program FilesVstPlugInsAmpliTube 4 .dll
.dll2. C:Program FilesCommon FilesAmpliTube 4.vst3
I can't swear to it, but I don't recall seeing the file referred to in 1. on my file system until after I removed v4.03 and replaced it v4.02.
Anyhow, update posted in the even it might help someone else.
ORIGINAL PROBLEM STATEMENT:
I'm trying to use AmpliTube 4 and Fender bundle (licensed) on Windows 10. Can someone please tell me exactly what AmpliTube file(s) I need to copy into my host plug-ins folder to use the plug-in and where on the Windows 10 file system I might find them?
So far, I have managed to bring Mobius 2 via JBridge and Cubase Groove Agent 4 VST's into my custom plug-ins folder on Ableton Live 9 (64-bit) and Ableton sees them no problem so I obviously understand the process in general and Ableton is not the problem, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what AmpliTube 4 files I'm supposed to be dropping in my plugins folder.
As an aside, Amplitube 4 standalone stubbornly refuses to use the native ASIO driver of my Steinberg UR44 interface. Standalone Cubase Groove Agent 4 and Positive Grid Bias FX have no problems in that regard.Mac
So, as it stands, I can't use AmpliTube 4 at all. Not in standalone mode because it refuses to use my audio interface's native ASIO driver and not as a VST plugin because I can't find the right files to drop in my host plugins folder.Mac
My primary concern right now is getting Amplitube 4 to work as a VST plug-in, so can someone please tell me which AmpliTube VST-related files I need to be looking for?
Thank you.
