That's how I do it on my Mobius laptop and it's working fine.  I set it up that way after being aviced by Jeff, taht devlopes Mobius, but later on I have come to understand that it's not the usual way with all Windows application. The "normal" way seems to be to put the VST folder insie the "Programs" folder , not the "Program Files" folder. Because of this I need to manually move the Mobius dll file into that folder because so far the Mobius installators put it in the "Programs/VST" folder. Strange. Maybe I misunderstood this from the beginning, but it's too much work to change it now. 

Actually, VST dll files can live in different VST folders if you are using a VST host that can be manually directed to any folder to look for VST's.
