Reopening project loses file locations

    Earlier today I decided to move my music content files and VST's to another location.
    I changed all paths in preferences (in Native Access and Maschine 2), and first I had a problem where my VST 64 where not found, although they where physically in the folder I pointed it too. I fixed this by reinstalling all missing VST's. (Although they where already in that location)

    But now I also have problems in Maschine. When I make a new project and load instruments, all works well. After closing and reopening the project, many instruments don't play. One shots do. When I look at the details of the sounds it says "Ensemble not found". After pointing the sound to the location it works again.
    Although there is a small change in the path, it removes the backslash after the last folder.

    Capture6.PNG (note the missing backslash between path and ensemble name)

    Any fix to this? I can't point sounds to the right location each time I reopen a project?
    Can you clear cache somewhere? Removing and reinstalling Maschine 2 did not work for me.
    I hate the idea to have to reinstall windows and all software anew, this is a 2 weeks old pc.
    Please help me,
    Thanks a lot!

    You are messing with DLL's on a Windows system. Shouldn't they go into Program Files/Steinberg/VST-Plugins?
    This is asking for error messages, sorry. Just keep them in the default location. Or anticipate and point to the LAWAAI folder during installation.
    I think you are making lawaai for no reason. You can't just move DLL's around without getting into trouble

    I moved the VST's to a faster location, I did the same on my previous PC when I ran out of space. (I also had problems but could fix it)
    So you install all your stuff on your C drive then? I wish I had a 4TB C drive, It's only 1TB.
    And you CAN relocate your VST's with Native Access, what's the point when it is not supposed to? I only wanted to point out there are bugs and I know only one solution; format C drive and never move them again.
