VST Files wont load in ableton live 9

Upon install I saved all my Komplete 7 .dll files to c:/Program Files (x86)/VSTPlugins. In Ableton 9 I have set my plug-in custom folder as the one above.

But none of my NI vsts show up. Other vsts appear. I just wonder if there is a problem with the install or 32 vs 64bit issues

It is Ableton live 9

At a loss

 

Which version: 32- or 64-bit?

In general, 'c:/Program Files (x86)/VSTPlugins' is the default folder for 32-bit plugins.

If you're using the 64-bit version of Live, it can't load 32-bit plugins (by default).

More infos about this can be found here: Ableton Live 64-bit Myths and Facts.

Thanks for the tut's solger very helpful.

Ab live is the 64bit version. Looking at the 64bit myths tutorial, that might be the problem.

Its actually komplete 5 that I have. Had it sitting in storage for a couple of years. Some reason I thought it was 7. Can't find the info on 5. It's probably 32 right?

Might go and exchange ableton for 32 if it's the issue

 

Can't remember exactly when, but the 64-bit versions where introduced somewhere around Komplete 6-7.
So it might probably be the case that there aren't 64-bit-updates available for (all of) the programs which
were included in Komplete 5.

But you can login with your account and check for the latest available updates for your product there.
