I use Ableton 10 and have a custom VST folder specified in the Ableton settings. I do this so that I can share all my VST’s between my workstations on a shared drive.

Most VST installers ask for the VST/VST3 folder location during install. It would be nice if Waves also did this so I didn’t have to manually copy the files.

Thanks for the suggestion @zach,

We use system locations for VST and offer you the ability to move them ([https://www.waves.com/support/how-to-use-waves-plugins-when-using-custom-vst-folder](https://www.waves.com/support/how-to-use-waves-plugins-when-using-custom-vst-folder)).  
I will pass on your feature request.
