[[[How can I change the paths to VST2 in the SymLink Installer?]]]
This tutor use if you have specify path for scanning VST plugins difference from standard C: \ Program Files (x86) \ VstPlugins , Example C: \ Program Files \Steinberg \ VstPlugins\ VstPlugins
***

Edit the paths for creating symbolic links in CMD files,
For example, in the x64 Windows MKLINK.cmd file, replace the lines (using any text editor) :

cmd / c mkdir “% PROGRAMFILES (x86)% \ VstPlugins”
cmd / c mklink / j “% PROGRAMFILES (x86)% \ VstPlugins \ XILS-lab x64” “% ~ dp0C \ Program Files (x86) \ VstPlugins \ XILS-lab x64”
cmd / c mklink / j “% PROGRAMFILES (x86)% \ VstPlugins \ XILS-lab x86” “% ~ dp0C \ Program Files (x86) \ VstPlugins \ XILS-lab x86”

for example, like this:

cmd / c mkdir “% PROGRAMFILES% \ Steinberg \ VstPlugins”
cmd / c mklink / j “% PROGRAMFILES% \ Steinberg \ VstPlugins \ XILS-lab” “% ~ dp0C \ Program Files (x86) \ VstPlugins \ XILS-lab x64”
cmd / c mkdir “% PROGRAMFILES (x86)% \ Steinberg \ VstPlugins”
cmd / c mklink / j “% PROGRAMFILES (x86)% \ Steinberg \ VstPlugins \ XILS-lab” “% ~ dp0C \ Program Files (x86) \ VstPlugins \ XILS-lab x86”

Explanation:
cmd / c mklink / j “Receiver” “Source”
– the command to create a symbolic link for the source “Source” in the receiver “Receiver”,
Similar changes should be made in the uninstaller file – x64 Windows MKLINK DELETE.cmd.

[[[Unlock copying of ProTools files]]]

To unlock copies of ProTools files, delete the “REM” or “-” characters in the file x64 Windows MKLINK VST.cmd before commands like this:

REM cmd / c mkdir “% COMMONPROGRAMFILES% \ Avid \ Audio \ Plug-Ins”
REM cmd / c mklink / j “% COMMONPROGRAMFILES% \ Avid \ Audio \ Plug-Ins \ WaveShell-AAX 9.6.aaxplugin” “% ~ dp0C \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Avid \ Audio \ Plug-Ins \ WaveShell-AAX 9.6 .aaxplugin “

How to remove excess from NO INSTALL?

Suppose I only need R-Vox and C1
Then it is enough, saving the reserve for rollback, remove the extra (or transfer for the test) folder from the folder
C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ Plug-Ins V9 \

The rest is not important to clean – it’s better not to experiment.

That is, from the folder C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ Plug-Ins V9 \
All folders * .bundle (and only!) are deleted, which have names,
not necessary to you of plug-ins.

To clean the C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ Plug-Ins V9 \ ArtistDlls1 \
you need to see the file viewer:
C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ Plug-Ins V9 \ ArtistDlls1 \ *. Bundle \ Contents \ Resources \ AlgXML \ 1001.xml
They contain the name of the plugin. It is superfluous to transfer and test, then to remove.

You can also remove the extra (based on the decision about the uselessness of the folder names) from
.. \ C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ Applications \
.. \ C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ Data \
.. \ C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ Data \ Instrument Data \
.. \ C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ eMotion LV1 \
.. \ C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ MultiRack \
.. \ C \ Program Files (x86) \ Waves \ SoundGrid Studio \

After each deletion, you need to rescan WaveShell to DAW, for example, temporarily transferring, and then restoring it.
