Should I uninstall the ownership thing, or just leave it. I don’t get the administrator’s warning now, just the continue prompt. I hope I don’t get registry problems from this. I also installed the take ownership hack.

Looks like I did have the 2.0.5 because now I have it in my downloads folder 3 times. If there are permissions problems on your computer and you cannot modify Program Files when you are logged in as administrator, you can take ownership of the necessary folders. If you use 2.0.5 as recommended above and rescan, then on restart Audacity will show you a dialogue in which you can see the effects it has detected and choose to load those detected plug-ins or not.

The new plug-ins will appear underneath the divider in the Effect Menu but only if you have extracted the DLL files and put them in the Audacity Plug-Ins folder or other supported system locations. I’ve checked all boxes in Preferences effects, includding the re=scan box and re opened Audacity but still can not find gsnap or any VST stuff in my effects folder. When I extract the the zip and try to copy it I get a message that only administrator can copy the file.

I think the problem is the program is not recognizing the dll. Can’t get Gsnap or any of the VST plugins to work.
