I'm 8 hours into this nightmare. Hoping someone can help me out. I have a PCIe Duo and Quad in my DAW. Windows 7 64 bit. Was on v9.0 of the software. I applied v9.5 this evening as I always have. When it got to the driver install of the process, a dialogue popped up 7 times asking if I wanted the driver to be installed. I responded yes. At the end of the update install, I restarted. No UAD2 cards functioning. The message in the monitor was driver failed to installed. Device Manager showed Xs on the devices. I looked up the error on the UA site and found an article explaining to do a complete uninstall. I followed the directions, including deleting the pref files and going into Device Manager and uninstalling/deleting the driver for each device. Tried v9.5 again and same result. Uninstalled again. I tried V9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 all with what looked like success and tried v9.5 again and everything failed. Tried v9.4 again after that and it kind of worked but I had the new Helios showing up. So I did a complete uninstall again following the steps and also removed the fragmented folders/files that were left behind -- it clearly isn't doing a complete, clean uninstall when telling the software to uninstall or using Remove Programs. Tried again with v9.4 since that kind of worked. The UA Monitor installed and the device drivers seemed to work ok, BUT... no plugins installed anywhere on my DAW. There's none. Ever since, any driver/update I've attempted from 8.0 - 9.4 all have the same result. Device Manager and UA Monitor show my authorizations and Quad/Duo properly, but there are no VST plugin files anywhere on my system.
I'm at a loss. It's like the plugins don't exist. I searched the entire drive. The installation process takes quite a while too, like it's writing a lot to the drive.
No idea what to do next. ???
Thanks in advance for anyone with suggestions. I've never had issues skipping versions before. The v9.5 installer seems to have really messed up my DAW.
