          Not sure I understand. %APPDATA% is just an internal wildcard on Windows that gets redirected to the user's app data directory. Have you put this exact string into the LinkWindows File?

            I tried to play with this option again but without success. I have LinkWindows file with path like this

            %APPDATA%/Roaming/My Company/My Plugin/Samples
            

            and when im loading plugin instead this path i got something like

            C:/Program Files/FL Studio/%APPDATA%/Roaming/My Company/My Plugin/Samples
            

            I don't how to point to %APPDATA% folder.

              first open a cmd window.

              then type %APPDATA%

              -- does that return the value you think it should?

                  Any ideas? 🙂

                  My LinkWindows has only %appdata% and that's how it look inside vst

                    @arminh Show us the contents of your LinkWindows file, and also the path to that file.

                        @arminh Why is that in there? Did you put that in manually?

                            @arminh The LinkWindows file should point to the location of the samples - either .wav or .ch1

                              @d-healey yes i know it, but even when i have proper path to samples folder plugin create %appdata% folder inside DAW. Tested in Studio One and FL. That's how it looks when i have correct path to samples

                              LinkWindows file

                              %APPDATA%\My Company\My Plugin\Samples

                                That isn't a proper path. Type %APPDATA%\My Company\My Plugin\Samples into the file browser path and hit enter.

                                  @d-healey said in LinkWindows to %appdata%:

                                  Type %APPDATA%\My Company\My Plugin\Samples into the file browser path and hit enter.

                                  I tested it even with cmd cd, and windows explorer and it's poiting me to corretct folder.

                                  I wanted to skip normal sample installation/folder chooser

                                    Hey you're right! Been so long since I've used Winedoze.

                                    You need to put a "normal" file path in there. For example this is what is in my Sofia Woodwinds LinkWindows file

                                    Y:\Woodwinds\Sofia_Woodwinds\HISE\Samples
