SOLVED Carla-git does not recognize Win VSTs

Post by Thomas1974 »

Hello,

I was recently given a computer and so I took my hard drive out of the other one and installed it into the newer computer. I wouldnt think switching out hard drives would make a difference. Also my external hard drive quit (so I thought), but come to find out it was the casing. Actually where you plug in the USB was really lose and not making a good connection. So I took the drive out of the case and put it in my computer as a second drive. It still had all of my media including the Win VSTs. Well the situation is that for some reason Carla wont recognize the Win VST DLLs now.

I even reconfigured wine and made sure the paths pointed to my VST DLLs.

After I try to refresh/scan for the I get this error message:
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x3a433d68 at address 0x1001d066 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
wine: cannot find '/usr/lib/carla/carla-discovery-win32.exe'
wine: cannot find '/usr/lib/carla/carla-discovery-win64.exe'
Any help would be appreciated.

What version of WINE are you using? The most recent ones are known to have problems.

Are you sure? v3 is about a million years old so I'm not surprised it doesn't work with a presumably more recent version of Carla. Install wine-stable 6.0 from winehq and hopefully that works. It's the version I have and it is fine.

I actually asked about your version as 6.3 to 6.7 have been problematic. Never expected such an old version!

Cool! Thanks for the tip. Never really use wine for anything. I'll give that a try.

@sunrat I want to thank you for your suggestion! I updated wine and it is now working! oh yea, I also had a brainfart and had the Exe. and Prefix backwards within Carla's configuration! One thing I noticed was when I ran a dry run, sudo apt -s install wine that I was up to date. I am still using Ubuntu 18.04. I know! 3 years old, but it's LTS! But the last time I did anything with wine was with Carla and that was sometime last year. I know Ubuntu is usually behind with these things (and especially older versions) but Im not going to complain. Anyway... just wanted to thank you for the help and I will mark this solved.
