How To Install Vst Plugins In Sony Acid
Mercury Waves and Antares have some kinda crazy initialization scripts (.ini) and also some pretty intensive graphical user interfaces(.gui's).
I couldn't tell you how many times I have seen this (on the forums and on my own computer with other vst's.)
What I recommend is COMPLETELY uninstalling everything pertaining to the VST, unless it came from Microsoft. (unlikely Mercury Waves or Antares needs anything from microsoft except maybe C++)
Anyway, uninstall them.
THEN get crapcleaner. Or CCleaner

and then run the REGISTRY CLEANER. (it also just cleans up all your temporary files too if you want it too)
After the before mentioned VST's have been completely uninstalled, and your registry has no 'registry' of your install.
Turn off the computer.
Then after about 20 seconds, turn on the computer.
How To Install Vst Plugins In Sony Acid Reflux
run through the re-installation after the computer has completely rebooted and is running stable after 20 minutes.
(You may try closing your anti-virus too as you install if you are insane)
If during this install, you still can't find the VST in Sony ACID
(Make sure to check out 'where' the installer said it was installing and the name in sony acid's preferences matches.)
- Aug 23, 2015 Im running Acid Pro 7 on 32-bit Windows XP. As of a few weeks ago, I've noticed that I can't effectively install any new plugins (only tried VST). I download the file, install, and then 'add' the plugin to Acid internally AND externally and it shows up as failed every time. Re-scans don't work.
- Alternatively, you may use the default install path, as suggested by the installer, and use your host application plug-ins management functionality to set a VST path after the installation has been successfully completed. Depending on your operating system and bitness of the plug-in, the default Toontrack install path/location will vary.
- Nov 23, 2020 Click the 'Browse' button next to 'VST Plug-In Custom Folder'. Select the folder you would like Ableton to use for VST Plug-Ins. Confirm that the 'Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder' option is turned on, and the file path listed under 'VST Plug-In Custom Folder' leads to the folder you just selected.

- I run Sony Acid Pro 7 (as 32 bit) on Windows 7 64bit. I have IK Multimedia's Amplitube series of VST plugins. I can bring up Amplitube as a VST, or Soft Synth, and use them as standalone plugins, but it does not appear in the effects folder, when I add an audio track to my project.

Vst plugins are little programs that act like I suppose you would call them 'virtual stompboxes', but they are not just stomp boxes they also are rack effects.reverb,echo etc and soft synths (synthesiser clones of well known instruments (usually analogue old gear that cost a fortune)) and many other applications that I probably haven't heard of and used. But thats the basic explanation.
Using Vst Plugins
Sorry can't help much more than that as I don't use Antares or Mercury, but they are amazing!!!! Vst plugin vocal correction.
