Odd behaviour installing both 32 bit & 64 bit versions ?

Hello

I am trying to install both 32 & 64 bit versions of my Legacy collection on a 64 bit Windows 10 partition.

However this appears to be mutually exclusive e.g. when I install the 32 bit version of one of the synths, then the 64 bit, the 32 bit version disappears !

My plugin folder structure is C:\32bitVSTPlugins and C:\64bitVSTPlugins.

Can someone clarify what is happening here please ?

Thanks

Mystery solved I think - both 32 & 64 bit versions are combined in the same .dll file.

Neat trick (but rather unusual - all my other plugins have separate dll files).

Hi, you got that to work?
I hadn't had both installed on my computer a few years ago, dont' remember what gymnastics I had to do to have them both installed. That was probably when I was on windows 7 64 bit.
Migrated to Windows 10, and realise now that the 32 bit version doesn't work......
Like you, I remembered/realised the installer removes one when you try to install both, and even if I install one, temporarily move it and reinstall the other....
the 32 bit crashes the 32bit Nuendo I was trying to use.
64 bit bit works fine......
If I remove the 64bit ones (from their correct folder) the 32 bit ones work fine in 32 bit Nuendo.
If I copy the 64 bit ones into the 32 bit vst folder, Nuendo 32 bit doesn't see them.
I think it is the last one you are suggesting that should sort of work based on your own experience?

thanks
