    I purchased Whistler and installed it through the iLOK License Manager and Vienna Assistant.

    Now I don't know how to actually get to the plugin.... I have Sony ACID (32 bit) and Cockos Reaper (64 bit) and both DAWs are not scanning the VST. I assume this is how it's supposed to work? Or is there a native client? If so, how do I start it? Could not find any information on this on the website.

    In the Vienna Assistant setting I set up a path for VST2 to C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTplugins, and this folder is being scanned by both DAWs. However I can't see Whistler anywhere.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Did you download and install the VI Player?

    I guess I figured it out. For some reason the Vienna Assistant was not showing all the other software that also needed to be installed. Reinstalled Vienna Assistant, then I could install the Vienna Instruments Pro etc.

    Then it took me a while to figure out how I can use the plugin in my DAW. First I have to add the Vienna Ensemble as the plugin, then in there load Vienna Instruments Pro, and in there load Whistler. Very cumbersome, but it works now.

    Vienna Ensemble is for loading multiple instances of VI. You can skip it if your just loading the Whistler. Just remember that VI and VI Pro are VST2 only
