Default Getting AAE error -9178 at startup

Hi there, recently downloaded Pro Tools First and the first thing that happens is that I run in to a problem. Well, here it is. The program loads it's necessary components and at some point during this the error pops up.

I tried to troubleshoot this on my own but it doesn't seem like any of the posts on the forum apply to my case. For example: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=387068
I can't seem to find "WaveShell-AAX 9.3.aax" in my plug-ins folder. So I figured it was a problem solved for PT12 users.

Does anyone have any tips on solving this matter? "I just wanna make some music, man"

"WaveShells" refer to 3rd party plugins from the company "Waves." Have you purchased and installed anything from them? If not, that is not your issue.

Please read here and post some information about your system. We need to know more.

Thanks for the Sandra report, but you still need to answer the question on whether you own any Waves plugins If you DO, I would probably uninstall and re-install through the Waves Central software. If you DON'T, I would navigate to your plugins folder and delete waveshell

Well, I don't any Waves plugins, in fact I haven't bought any plugins at all. Although I can't seem to find Waveshell in my plugins folder either. Where do I look for it and what's it called?

If you haven't deliberately installed Waves, you can forget about looking for a WaveShell.
