Hello. i am having a problem loading the Waves plug-ins onto my DAW’s instrument tracks. I use Bitwig Studio 3.3.7. it says: Could not load plug-in. Could not create vst3 instance for class id 445514C53682D65712D6C69 A null component was returned. I do not know what to do for them to work. They are installed correctly and appear in waves center. I tried to clean uninstall all and reinstall, still nothing. They worked before though… Please help and thank you very much for support! ---

I managed to speak to someone from Waves and after 2 hours of them trying to make it happen through teamviewer, they finally did it! It was a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable update that had to be made and after 2 or 3 restarts, my plug-ins are finally back! 💥 ---

Thats good news man. Thanks for providing us with the solution. I have to say this is not the first time I heard that Visual C++ being the culprit. I guess this would just be another thing to check when nothing else seems to work, making sure that MS Visual C++ is up to date or maybe doing a reinstall. 🤔 ---
