how to remove plugins

[reikadeloh]

Hi all,

I,ve just buy the m-powered and have some questions,maybe you can help me...

When the program is loading it displays a message to authorize a plugin from bomb factory,i,ve tried to remove the plugin from the control panel-add or delete programs...but the plugins doesn´t dissapear.How can i remove it?
i,ve searched for the plugins folder in the hard drive but i can´t find it...

Another question...the m-powered supports vst instruments?

thanks all and sorry for the english...

Check for something else that says Bomb Factory. Protools will install "Free Bomb Factory Pluggins" which you do not need to be authorized and you should not uninstall. Maybe you installed some other Bomb Factory package but uninstalled the wrong one?

ProTools does not support VST but you can get Fxpansion VST to RTAS Adapter:

thanks for the answer,

i think the free package is installed with the main PT sofware.
the plugin i can´t unistall is another one, it was an error (i thought it was free also...).I only need to remove this one...and don´t know how...

here you find a shortcut to your Plugins folder.
Go there and search the Plugin. Delete or move it to another location.

I hope this helps

thanks all,

I have tried to remove it manually from the pt folder but inside there is no "plugins folder" i only see some dll´s that i supposed that have to be the plugins(and the names doesn´t match always with the plugins...).Anyway it doesn´t work...i think is a difficult way to remove a plugin..it has to be easier...
i would try again and tell you what happens....

thanks

Daniel, fabz gave you the wrong location. Plugins haven't been in that directory since version 5.3. Some plugins of "questionable origin" still mistakenly put them in that location, but since you're not talking about one of those, that is not the case.

The directory you are looking for is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Digidesign\DAE\Plug-Ins
There is a directory a level up called "Plug-Ins (Unused)" that you can move the *.dpm and *.dpm.rsr files.


It would help to know which bomb factory plug you're talking about. Brute force removal like we're talking about will work, but it's better to run the proper uninstaller.

This shortcut leads to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Digidesign\DAE\Plug-Ins
the only difference is that my way is easier to find...

@SPKGUITAR: Every piece of software on my system is either a demo or licensed!!!

There is no such shortcut on either of my systems; MPowered or LE.

Huhh???

there is a shortcut! At least on my 2 Computers... Strange, this is...

But the point is, you can't say i have cracked software on my system.
I know you know a lot about PT and are of big help for us here on the DUC but that was simply not ok.
Maybe i created the shortcuts myself somewhen (even though i can't remember) but i don't use any pirated plugins, that comment was plain sh*t.

So let's move on... peace, man!
