Studio On Artist, can I use VST plug ins?

Well, if you could, or wouldn't mind I think it's most safe to uninstall everything GR and re-install the original version that came with S1. Try getting that to work, if so, then you can re-install version 4, which should take the original location.

De-installed everything NI GuitarRig related and even Service Center.

No luck. This is so annoying.

You are not able to install??? Really strange.

Found something regarding Komplete 7, which might be related on the NI forums.

No solution though.

i have the same problem after upgrading to Komplete 7 on my window 7 64bit, Cubase 5 64bit system. During the Komplete 7 installation, it was fine. But when i tried to update Reaktor 5.5 and i get this error message,
"The Folder path "#$*&ksd" contains an invalid character.

Yes, always walking through the whole install routine and then the installer says "Installing NI Service Center" and then this "inivalid character" message appears.

edit:
Well, it REALLY seems to be an NI issue then. Merde!

But if SC isn't installed the plugin might still work if it's correctly installed. Maybe install GR 3 untill the error and then install GR 4? Don't forget to check the location and rename the dll.

I have seen this "Invalid Character" warning if the destination drive has a strange or different name. Try installing it on a different drive and see what happens, just for grins.

Thanks, I will try that. But I'guess that "C" isn't a strange name at all.

Maybe it's the drive name, or maybe the user account (for my Documents) is using a strange character?

I'd say that I don't use any strange characters for my drives or paths.

For today my patience is exhausted. No power anymore to try further alternatives.

Thank you all. Maybe presonus has got an idea. So, if you read this .... think about it.

You might want to try Tech Support at NI as well.

Tomorrow.

lol.... That's true. But maybe there's a strange space or character in one of the folder names or something silly like that. Maybe try creating a folder on C:\ called Music and just direct the application there.

Really this is all just a guess but it's what I did for someone having a similar issue and somehow it worked.

Up!

I haven't done anything further so far. But maybe someone has got an idea.

I thing I have to contact NI support with this issue.

So, now I've opened a thread at the NI forums and contacted ew from NI support via KVR.

We'll see what this will bring along.

So, ew pointed me to a little windpws tool After running this I was able to install GR 3 LE on my system - I pointed the install location to that "Vstplugin" folder I created in the S1 program path.

Success?

NO! Hhhmmmmpppfff!
S1A doesn't recognize GR3LE. That's not very satisfying.

So what can I do additionally?

Jonathan?
Thomas?
Eike?
