I have 5 billion VST's installed on my computer and trying to locate them all to install on daws and programs like BIAB is a huge hassle. Some programs are better than other at locating them without any help and some will not load them even when given exact locations. The best DAW at finding VST's, in my opinion, is Mixcraft. I have used this program time and time again and never once had to show it where the files were. It just found them and I was able to use them. Even ones that are deeply buried within the files system of Windows. Now, if this DAW were a little better at music production, again my opinion I would not have this problem. But, Currently, I have the use of several DAW's on my system and until I find that golden one I keep looking. I have Reaper, Mixcraft, Tracktion, and Realband. The latter really sucks at finding VST's along with BIAB. It just is such a pain in the rear. Why? Don't know. This happens because you buy a new VST and install it and just keep clicking yes, yes, yes and it puts it wherever it wants. Yes, I'm lazy that way. Is there such a program that would find all the VST's and present them in such a way that when I try to use them in a program like BIAB there easier to find? Hopefully, you all understand what I'm talking about. Thanks

I always put my VSTis and VSTs in specific folders.
64 bit VSTis go into C/program files/VSTis
32 bit VSTis go into c/program files (x86)/VSTis
64 bit VSTs go into C/program files/VSTs
32 bit VSTs go into C/program files (x86)/VSTs
This way everything is organized and easy to access.
If some of your VSTis or VSTs do not load they may not be compatible with that DAW.
Some VSTis have the dlls in a folder with other needed files. You must move the entire folder to the appropriate folder the I mentioned above.
This works for me and hopefully it will work for you if you choose to go this route.
Good luck.

..... Currently, I have the use of several DAW's on my system and until I find that golden one I keep looking. I have Reaper, Mixcraft, Tracktion, and Realband. ... If you're looking still, PM me if you need a full licensed Cubase 10 PRO FULL retail, MAC and PC; got 2 never used legal licenses on the shelf, about 100 bucks below the standard prices ... BTW For now I work with the very stable 9.5 still, as 10's first release has far more and worse deadly bugs than BIAB 2019, and the license is valid for all them older versions too. Bonus is you'll get Halion Sonic SE3 included, one i always use with BIAB, IMO simply the easiest to work with and best sounding GM2 synth. F

Yea that would work, but I need to find them all first. Search *.dll and you will find them along with tons of other dlls. OR in your DAW(s) look where the location folders they are finding them, write down those locations or screen print, then move them.

Thanks, but I've as we say shot my load for spending the rest of the year now. I've tried Cubase in the past and wasn't that installed. If somehow I could get a mixture of Reaper and Mixcraft together that would be perfect. I got caught up in the moment as they say and spent well over a thousand dollars on my musical hobby this Christmas. Not only did I buy the Ultra Pak but I got all the other extras this year. What the hell, you only live once. I spend well over 800 dollars this year with PG Music.
On top of that, I went over to Izotop and bought both Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 full advance versions. Thank God for upgrade prices. Then I went over to Native and bought some Strings and couple other of my favorite places to by VST's and boom. When I say you only live once I meant it.
