Hey guys.

I’m running Cubase Pro 12 on Windows 10. I have recently reinstalled the OS and all other software.

In Cubase when I am trying to load wither H-reverb or [Curves](https://www.waves.com/plugins/curves-aq) Resolve nothing happens. All other Waves plugins works fine.

So the plugins show up in the list alongside every other plugin. I have checked vst-plugin manager, everything looks good to go, no blocklisting and it’s not a license error. Everything is licensed and activated.

So first I reinstalled the plugins, then I did a Waves clean up through Waves Central. Still nothing. Any ideas?

Solved it by uninstalling both the plugins and the Waves Central. I think something bad happened with the Visual C++ installation the first time around. When reinstalling Waves Central the Visual C++ installation went smothely and now everything is up and running.
