Hi. I don't really understand what your are trying to accomplish here. Is the VSTi a plugin? Is it a full synth or one instruments? I need that sort of info to be able to help you.

BIAB is, for the most part, a single synth program that can incorporate up to 4 plugins at a time. But you need instruments too. So in order for your BIAB to play it needs a full instrument synth, such as, Coyote Forte, VSC. These synths have all the instruments needed for a project and to be able to hear instruments.

Now, as to your other problem, you have probably got the synth you want to use for midi selected in the Windows System sounds. You need to go in there and de-select, say, the sound canvas as the default midi player. Also you need to see if you've selected the "Play only these instruments" box checked. If so then uncheck it. Once you remove the culprit you shouldn't get that error message anymore.

Hope that helped.
