Thanks Ralph, great job! Now I don't have to listen to those Mac users anymore! (ducking for cover)

I had version 3.5 installed on my machine. After I updated Jamstix to 3.6, Reaper doesn't see its dll anymore. After trying to reinstall it several times, I've given up. I ended up having to uninstall Jamstix and installing an older version I had a back up of (3.3). I'm really frustrated! Isn't anybody else having the same problem? Ralph, help please, I'm desperate!

Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bits
Reaper 4.591

Working fine here in Reaper. The trick is the same as always, you have to know where the .dll file is going and you have to have Reaper looking in the location. For the first, when you install it asks you where you want to put the .dll. For the second Reaper allows you to set the folders you want to scan for VSTs. Be patient, take a deep breath, have a cup of coffee and then try again.

Renan_Lim: as Jazzmandan said, this is usually a setup folder issue. Try installing 3.6 to the exact same folders as the prior version. If this still fails, please email me Documents\Jamstix3\rzdlog.txt.

jazzmandan, thank you for trying to help, but I've already tried everything you suggested. I'm aware of vst folder issues, I've had and dealt with so many so far. When I installed Jamstix 3.6 I made sure the dlls went right into the appropriate folders, I've checked the dlls myself, they were where they should be. First, as always, I installed just the 64 bits option; as Reaper failed to see the dll, I thought I maybe should install the 32 bits as well and see what happens. Reaper couldn't find either of the dlls. So, I used the option there's in Reaper to "clear cash/re-scan", but nothing changed. I noticed that sometimes after I uninstalled and reinstalled Jamstix 3.6, when opening, Reaper did the usual rescan and I could see Jamstix dll shown shortly during the opening process. I then went and checked the VSTIs, but Jamstix wasn't there. I know that may sound weird, but that's what I'm having here. I then go back to the most recent version I have (3.3), install it, and there you go, bingo! And one more time I make sure the dlls are going to the right folders, again and again. I've no idea of why this is happening here, but I sure need your help. I will, once again, try a new install of 3.6 and see how things go. If it fails again, I will send you Documents\Jamstix3\rzdlog.txt. I will keep you informed anyway. Thanks a lot guys!

Ps.: And jazzmandan, would you believe me if I told you that yesterday, as I tried every little trick I could think of to understand what was going on here, I drank the whole bottle of coffee? Cheers!

After trying a reinstall and opening Jamstix 32 bit (Reaper couldn't find the 64 bit dll), I got this error message in Reaper:

What I did differently: I installed Jamstix and ran Reaper as Administrator. Help please!

Okay, if you're running REAPER-64, you definitely want to run Jamstix-64. Let's get this fixed. Please email me \Documents\Jamstix3\sllink.txt and tell me the plugin search path for REAPER-64.

First, rest assured the JS 3.60 and the current version of Reaper work nicely together.

Second, if your still stuck I can take a screen shot or video of the who installation and setup process which works well for me here. Just let me know we should be able to get you up and running today??.

And finally, lets stay all 64x, when you mix and match things don't work.
