Specifically:
•
No Installs Pending: When the Install button says there are No Installs Pending, then there are no files in
Receptor’s Drop Installers Here folder, and the button is disabled. The Drop Installers Here folder and
the installation procedure is further discussed in Chapter 13, “Installing, Updating, and Managing Receptor
Files”.
• Install <n> Files: When there are files in Receptor’s Drop Installers Here folder (as discussed in
Chapter 13, “Installing, Updating, and Managing Receptor Files”), then the button text indicates how many
files (<n>) there are to install. Press the button to have Receptor install all the files.
NOTE: Installing some types of files (particularly system updates) will automatically cause Receptor to reboot.
Don’t be alarmed. This is normal procedure.
Include “Unsupported Plugins” folder
As mentioned previously, the official method for installing Receptor system updates, plugins, or patches is to
drag them into Receptor’s Drop installers Here folder and click the Install button.
If you own a Windows plugin that does not yet have a Receptor installer, you may attempt to install it by
dropping the .dll into the Program Files/VST Plugins/Unsupported Plugins folder on Receptor’s hard drive.
Checking the Include “Unsupported Plugins” folder option tells Receptor to look in this folder and to add any
un-installed files it finds there to the installation. If you have any un-installed files in the Unsupported Plugins
folder, you will see the Install button’s file count increase when you check the option.
IMPORTANT: This feature is meant for power users only. Attempting to install plugins that have not been
approved nor tested for Receptor may cause problems.
For detailed information about how to install “unsupported plugins,” please see “Installing and De-installing
“Unsupported” Plugins” on page 171.
Installation Results
To the right of the Install button is some text showing the results of your last installation. Specifically, it shows
how many files were successfully installed, and how many failed. Failed installation files are moved into
Receptor’s Drop Installers Here/Failed folder.
NOTE: The Installation results are lost when Receptor is rebooted, in which case the results field simply shows
