[RWP] I found the culprit

[Indigo]

You know, when a plug has its own installer, I never let it just install 
anywhere, but always type in my path; then add a backslash then a 
clearly named folder for that plug's components.
Otherwise, many plugs will scatter their .dll, libraries, uninstaller, 
manual, all over the VST folder, very messy to clean up afterwards if 
the plug doesn't work.
So, that leaves only plug folders for large plugs at the top of the VST 
folder and a single .dll for each simple little plug at the bottom.

What I may have to end up doing, is just installing all VST instruments in one big folder. That could get pretty messy, but I've got to do what I have to do.
