Scaler 3.05 VST3 in Windows 10 scan fails with error 2 and no new plugins seen

This is how one user fixed this problem:

i noticed one other thing… after making the changes to my system, and re-scanning using Scaler 3, the rescan didn’t work because I had an Error2 message. To counter this, I manually deleted ‘plugins64.cache’, ‘plugins64.ignore’, ‘plugins64’ files from the ‘C:/ProgramData/ScalerMusic/Scaler 3’ folder, then performed a fresh scan. Scaler 3 compiled new versions of those files which worked properly. I am guessing the Error2 prevented the scan from overwriting the previous database data written in those files.

Also, it’s helpful to do all this using the Standalone version of Scaler 3. I had a few crashes after my successful scan when using the VST within the DAW. Making sure everything works in the standalone version first will prevent the DAW crashes and should save a bit of doubt and concern with respect to that. Good luck!
