It points to the right folder during installation, but nothing shows up in the folder. Installed Dim Expander right before it and it shows up fine. Tried a few times now. Win 8.1

Had been having the same issue. Just read the post. Did a run as admin. Worked like a charm.

On a mac, I assume you ran the .PKG installer, it then shows up as an effect in your DAW.

Are you on Win7 SP1 or later?  Are you looking on a stereo insert?

It's also an OSX plugin.  Are you familiar with using 3rd party plugins in Ableton Live?  Have you enabled use VST plugins in Live (Live prefs -> file/folder) and do you know where VST plugins show in Live's browser?

Hell, I just can't get ANYWHERE with installing this plugin.  I've been trying for weeks.  It runs fine on my Mac in Ableton 9 but with Windows 10?  Originally I acquired OTT through Splice.  I emailed them and they sent me this link https://xferrecords.com/freeware/  If I DON'T right click I get 'This app can't run on your PC To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.   If I DO right click and 'run as administrator' I get 'Windows cannot find 'E:._Install_Xfer_OTT.exe'.  Does it really have to be this hard just to install a plugin?

I would suggest to re-download it.  You can try opening it in 7-zip and extract the DLL manually if you want..

Ok I've downloaded 7-zip  i.e. the file: 7z1604-x64.exe  I've installed no problem.  Running 7-Zip File Manager when trying to access the removable USB drive that has the OTT installer on it I get: 'Windows cannot access \.\E:  Check the spelling of the name.  Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network.  To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.'  So upon clicking 'Diagnose': Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem.   In fact 7-zip produces an 'Access is denied.' message when selecting either the C drive or the D drive.   I give up.

FWIW I have now finally managed to install OTT on my PC.  7-zip didn't work but what did work was a Mac program called the Unarchiver.  This program had no problems extracting the dll files at all.

Just built a PC and installed all the Xfer plugs I own. All installed properly except for OTT. Running as admin worked as Steve suggested.

Hey Steve.  Have been trying to install Xfer OTT on my Windows 10, PC, to use in FL Studio.  It downloads as a .dll file (which I can't open).  I tried downloading and opening it with 7-zip as suggested above but no luck either.  I've restarted, and re-downloaded several times…no luck…help! :) Thanks

The .dll is the plug-in itself, it belongs in any VST folder that you set FL Studio to look to (options->manage plugins).

Thanks so much man.  I was getting fatigued trying to sort it last night.  This guidance (and probably some time away) got my issue resolved!  Had to add the path to option>manager plugin.  Really appreciate how responsive you are with your Customers.  You rock!
