I recently installed SF6, and now (even after uninstalling 6) Acoustic mirror will not load in SF5f.
It gives me a dialogue box that says:
The plug-in Acoustic mirror could not be run. One or more components required to run this plug in may be missing (80040154h)
Check to ensure the following path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available. Blah, blah, blah...

the path and filename are correct.

Tried to reinstall, reinstalled build e(after uninstalling SF completely) then reinstalled build f. still no accoustic mirror, and the same message appears.

What do I do?????

This is a know issue with installing the beta onto the same machine as 5.0f.

To fix this please delete the following files and then re-run the installer for 5.0f with the repair option.

sfhammer.dll
sfmirror.dll

located under the shared plug-ins/audio

If this does not work then you have to Unistall\Reinstall 5.0f

sorry for the inconvinience and thank you for trying out our beta.

Yes, thanks! I was contemplating having to uninstall/reinstall SF 5.0.

As it stands now, I will have to keep SF 5.0 when SF 6.0 is released. I want them both. Personally, I think 6.0 smokes 5.0 and everyone's beloved 4.5!

Thanks, for the prompt response. Deleting the sfhammer.dll & sfmirror.dll files for SF5.0f, and then re-running the installer for 5.0f with the repair option did the trick. Now all is well again.

Never had Acoustic Mirror before, but I just tried it for the
first time in the SF 6 Beta, and all I can say is, "WOW!"

I used the SM57 impulse on a guitar recorded direct from
an effects processor, and the difference, the life, air,
space, and energy added, is quite amazing.

What a great piece of software! Yes, I'd be bummed too
if mine stopped working.
