How to load missing beatbox.vst3 : music maker premium 2022

I saw on a post to access items that did not load on install by "clicking the download tab" I can not find where that is located: Example: beatbox.vst3 can not be initiated in music maker premium 2022 - How do I find the extra items that did not install ? Thank you in advance, Sam

@Sam-Willcox I had this happen once. I worked after I reset the program settings under the File > Settings menu. If this doesn't help, you can try to uninstall and reinstall Music Maker.

Thank you for the responses, I have found a place where the icon states "beatbox is installed" so I am not able to tell it to install (or reinstall). The same error "unable to initiate beatbox.vst3" When I look in the folders there is no vst3 file for beatbox. Will try a full uninstall and reinstall.

Music Maker premium 2022 / Did an uninstall and reinstall and the same problem exists :

"The following VST plug-in cannot be loaded beatbox.vst3"

"Could not instantiate the Beatbox plugin"

The program hangs for long time looking for the plugin and finally times out only to again display the error message.

Perhaps if I were to install the beatbox pro vst manually and let music maker add it. but I do not know where Magic has that vst to download.

Appreciate any assistance, Sam

SOLVED: "Could not instantiate the Beatbox plugin": Uninstalled program and associated files, moved file paths to new location, installed the "free" version, (do not log in until all updates are done to the program), There were 2 updates for my install, restarted the computer and started Music Maker, now log in and allow the auto install of extra software ( beatbox was found and upgraded to pro ) Thank you for the help.
