Thanks, Spogg. I'll come to play ASAP - though unfortunately, spring-cleaning my PC in readiness has resulted in a much, much quieter cooling fan at the expense of buggering up several other rather vital parts, so I have a little fettling to do (and some crawling around under my desk looking for a couple of very, very, teensy-weensy screws!) :cry:

don't cha just hate when that happens.

I've been in the process of adding several new hard drives to my computer.

So far have received 2 defective WD Black drives.

Also needed the special 'anti-vibration' harddrive mounting screws for my Lian-Li case.
Not a single US distributor has any.
Been all over EBay too.

Finally found on on-line store that had what looked to be correct ... having already waited on a shipment
from China [took nearly 2 months] ... but were not the right part.

Now, the new parts just arrived ......... from Slovenia.
And they screwed up the shipping label ... so I got to watch the 'tracker' move the package around the US :|

I've been dealing with a long case of Vertigo, and have issue bending over to lift my computer case to work on.
Had to hire in a Tech [$100/per visit] to do this simple install.

Will likely have to do this again to replace another 'new' drive.

Vertigo SUCKS :twisted: :oops:

After 16 years od dedicated service, my XP system has finaly been laid to rest. :cry:
I have upgraded my laptop and desktop, with win 10 and win 11 64-bit I also upgraded Reason
from 6.5 to Reason 12....a mind-blowing upgrade. :shock: Did the whole thing for under $1000.. :D
So you can all see the problem....all of a sudden FS is not compatible. :? :roll: :evil: :oops:

Yes, Fs4 alpha can create 32 bit and 64 bit plugins. My recently built PC is running Windows 11 and no problems with FS 3.06 or the alpha.

I pressed the Google drive link today...so I'm waiting on a email. In the meantime, I have a few questions.
Where does it install.. in the 32 bit or 64 bit Program files??
If it's 32 bit, can I run 3.06 at the same time or do I have to un-install it??

Edit:
Well I got the download. There's no installer, so I can't install.
Clicking the application thumbnail yields error. :?:

Hi Billv

FS-4 is currently a 'Portable' app.

Just EXTRACT it into it's native Folder [so that everything is in one place [folder].

To Launch ... use Flowstone-64.exe

The code execution cannot proceed because VCCMP1.DLL was not found.
