Hey Toonies 🙂 I need your help.
I just bought a brand new and fast pc with only Cubase 8.5 and the soundcard driver for my Focusrite Saffire 14 Pro installed. I then bought Superior 2, The Metal Foundry SDX and a bunch of EDX expansions. Some of it was as downloads and some of it was not. I downloaded the Product Manager and everything seemed to work perfectly. Installed, updated, authorized and ready to go. No issues what so over. The problem is that it is nowhere to be found in Cubase.
I run Windows 10 (64bit), Cubase 8,5 (64bit) and the Superior 2 is 64bit. I could not find any info on the expansions. Superior 2 and the expansions just don’t show up as vst in Cubase. Am I missing something? I looked for dll-files as well but none were found. I ran the installation of both Cubase and the Toontrack products like the installation suggests when accepting the installation. I guess I sort of hoped (or expected rather) that the Toontrack products found the correct place to install so it would work right away. I mean….a brand new pc (bought yesterday) and Cubase installed where Cubase as standard is getting installed. I just thought that nothing could go wrong when selecting installation as Toontrack and Cubase suggests.
I then installed a guitar amp sim plugin and selected the Cubase vst folder in which the dll-file should be placed. No problem at all. The guitar amp sim plugin works like a charm in Cubase.
Does anybody have a clue? I just spend a huge amount of money on Toontrack products I kinda hoped would work :-). I also just spend almost 8 hours of installing. Maybe for nothing. Hope someone can help me.

Aha! That is the problem. They were installed default into VST3. They should default to VST2 folder!
I can just drag the files to the correct VST folder. Or should I reinstall? How would I reinstall?

No don’t drag them or move them. You don’t have to reinstall either. I believe Toontrack installers put them there to future proof them. They most likely will release vst3 versions and it will make it easier. Just set the path in Cubase
