In the Spitfire Audio App we allow the VST2 location to be changed in the Settings Tab (shown below). The location selected will be the location where your .dll file is installed. This can change if you delete the Application or its settings, so be sure to check this before repairing or installing a library.
Where possible, we recommend you use the VST3 versions of our plugins. For every DAW these are read from the same location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. As this is a default location for all VST3 plugins, we do not support changing this installation path manually. For more information on this please contact our support team.
If you need to install the VST, please make sure you select the location that is used by your specific DAW. Note that our VST plugin is no longer 32bit compatible. The below locations are 64bit only.
