When I try to scan VST’s in Scaler 3 I get an error 2 message. I have deleted the file in the appData folder that Scaler 3 creates and rebooted without changing the behavior. I have done it with with my anti virus software disabled. I have scanned the VST2 folder alone and gotten the error. I have scanned the VST3 folder alone and gotten the error. This happens both in the standalone version and the VST3 version of Scaler 3.05 in Ableton Live 12.1.
When I first installed Scaler 3 I did a scan with just 2 plugins in place, Unify and Stylus RMX. They both still show up but nothing else seems to be seen with subsequent scans and I get error 2 as stated.

I followed the instructions for a clean reinstall and then did the plugin scan for VST3 plugins at the end of the install process and found that my plugins are now all showing up and I am not getting the error 2 anymore. I guess this is solved now at least for me for now.
That’s pretty interesting. I checked and the Scaler 3 folder that was the parent of those was read only so the subfolders probably had the same permissions as I did not install the app with admin privileges. I changed the protections to allow write access so that hopefully I won’t have any problems with trying to rescan my plugins.
