Maybe worth you clarifying further. After uninstalling JS2 and JS3 did you reinstall JS2 (and where to?) and authorise it before installing JS3? The JS3 beta needs an authorised version of JS2 to work I believe.

The log shows that jamstix3.dll is located in

D:\Audio Prog\Steinberg\Vstplugins\

Make sure you point the beta installer to the correct location for data and plugin. Whenever the log shows Beta 8, you know you've updated the wrong place.

This where i install my vstplugins , D:\Audio Prog\Steinberg\Vstplugins..
I do not know how to point the beta installer to the correct location for data and plugin. Whenever the log shows Beta 8, you know you've updated the wrong place.
All I know is I installled it according to your directions explicitly and when I select it as a VSTinst in Cubase5 it gives me the message it is expired. Thank you fo not giving up on me. i cannot see why this is so hard to get past.

When you run the installer, it will first ask you for the desired data location. Select any place you like here. After that, the installer ask for the plugin location. Select 'D:\Audio Prog\Steinberg\Vstplugins'.

After that, you should see Beta 14 when JS3 loads up (bottom of GUI).

Ralph,
I know this is getting frustrating to you trying to help me. Beleive me you are no more frustrated than I am. I say this next statement not to put down jamstix because if you look at any of my many post in the past you can see I have always been thrilled with JS as a program and your tech support has been awsome , I am just stating this statement to show you I am not a newbie to softsynths, I have had JS since JS1,JS2, JS2 with percusion, I own and run Kontakt, SampleTank2.5, SonicSynth2, SampleTron, SampleMoog, Philharmonik Orchestra, Guitart Rig 4, Akoustik Piano, Bandstant, and B4 and I have no problems running any of them.
I have once again followed your instructions to a tea. Once I installed JS3 the way you explained on startup in Cubase it asked for the location of the data folder I browsed to it and then JS3 came up with same message saying it had expired and I need the license for it. How long before the finished JS3 comes out. I hate to but it looks like I am going to have to go back to working with JS2 until that time, but this really frustrates me because I have become very familar and happy using JS3. Any other suggestions please!!!!!!!

Bump. Please any other suggestions getting JS3 beta to continue working.

I would suggest uninstalling JS3 Beta, and then searching all drives for jamstix3.dll

As your log files consistantly show Beta 8, you probably have a version tht you have inadvertanlt installed elsewhere that your sequencer is picking up instead of Beta 14. If you do the above file search and you find another jamstix3.dll this will confirm that!

OK thanks I will try that.

Ralph thanks for hanging in there and getting me through this. This fixed it. I had gone through and searched my registry and removed every instance of jamstix but there was one dll file left on my harddrive. Thanks again.
