I use 2 machines.

Machine 1 - Win 8.1 Pro 64 with Reaper 5.70/64 - this is my DAW
Machine 2 - Win 10 Pro 64 with Reaper 5.70/64 - Scopes and instrumentation

I use ReaStream to stream audio to the second machine which is only deployed for hosting scopes.

ON MACHINE 1,

there are no issues scanning, finding, and availing Waves plugins. I only use 64-bit plugins on this machine.

In C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\REAPER, there are 2 files relevant to this thread.

reaper-vstplugins64.ini
reaper-vstshells64.ini

With respect to the 64-bit WaveShell, the first file contains the lines:

...
WaveShell_VST_9.91_x64.dll=8082DF460FE9D201,0,<SHE LL>
...
WaveShell_VST3_9.91_x64.vst3=80AF10480FE9D201,0,<S HELL>
...

each followed by a list of all Waves plugins associated with those shells.

In the "reaper-vstshells64.ini" file, there is a tag for each of the shell .dll files, followed by the ID for each of the plugins. For example,

[WaveShell_VST_9.91_x64.dll]
pl0=1112755277
pl1=1112755283
pl2=1112757837
pl3=1112757843
...
count=214
[WaveShell_VST3_9.91_x64.vst3]
count=214
pl0=851785231
pl1=530019617
pl2=1813047961
...

ON MACHINE 2 (Win10 Pro 64, Reaper 5.70/64)

Reaper only creates,

reaper-vstplugins64.ini

and FAILS to create

reaper-vstshells64.ini

The entries for the WavesShell in "reaper-vstplugins64.ini" is TRUNCATED, as follows:

WaveShell_VST_9.91_x64.dll=8082DF460FE9D201
WaveShell_VST3_9.91_x64.vst3=80AF10480FE9D201

None of the plugins are listed as they are on Machine 1.

Machine 2 will NOT see any Waves 64-bit plugin installed and licensed on that machine.

YES, I
(1) Rescan
(2) Clear cache/rescan
(3) Change order
(4) Reduce the path to just the DEFAULT Waves 64-bit plugin folder
(5) Clean any cached pages by warm and cold rebooting
(6) Manually completing the lines that were truncated using Notepad
(7) Verifying "Do not scan VST..." is unchecked
(8) Verifying the WAVES installation and licensing is correct...
(9) ALL Waves 32-bit plugins are seen, and usable - even though their entries appear in the "reaper-vstplugins64.ini" file (which a reasonable person would expect to contain only 64-bit plugins!)
(10) Get really pissed off that I'm F&&&&g with configuration instead of
focusing on my projects...

ALL have occurred!

Everything on Machine 2 is installed in their default locations.
