Trying to understand why Ozone 5 will/won’t show up in various Windows 7 applications, I discovered that:
The folder on my system is:
- [C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstplugins]
The corresponding registry entry is:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > VST > VSTPluginsPath
- The name [Wow6432Node] sounds somewhat unprofessional, but I checked on my system and indeed that’s how it is.
In Registry Editor:
- In left-hand “explorer” pane, dial-down to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > VST]
- At that location:
- Name: (REG_SZ) = [VSTPluginsPath]
- Value: (REG_SZ) = [C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstplugins]
