Hey Greg, That's probably what I would do at this point. Something is screwy with the install for that demo man. I have a separate folder in my documents that I keep .dll files for my 32 bit plugins, and plugins that I just want to test out. Another reason I do that is because of cases like this. I have experienced a few plugins that just wouldn't show up in sonar no matter what I did. With the extra folder I darn well know the plugin is in there, and when I do a VST scan it will show. I would just make a new folder and put the .DLL in it, and ad that folder to your list of VST folders in sonar.
