Vamp Plugins not Showing up on upgrade
« on: May 26, 2017, 02:23:05 PM »
I just upgraded to the newest version of Xlights as a new install, computer is running Windows 10. The last time I ran a version of Xlights was 2014, had to take a two year break from my display shows.  I installed the newest version and when I go to start a new sequence and use the wizard and when I go to the timing tabs none of the Vamp options  are not there. Am I doing something wrong or do I have remnants of a older program still in the background taking over.  I also have a folder with the Vamp downloads I downloaded a few years ago. Also I am running the 64 bit version.

Thank you in Advance

There are installers for QM Vamp on the Downloads page: https://xlights.org/releases/

There is an issue if you don't install xLights in the default installation path.

Hi, i'm having a similar issue doing a fresh install of xLights 64 2017.19 and Vamp 64 from xlights.org. I install both as admin on a win 10 desktop, and accept the default directories. The plugins do not show up in the timing window. Please advise.

Note that i upgraded from a late xlights 4 version and uninstalled it and the plugins prior to this upgrade.
