PC software to generate lists of installed VSTs?

Anyone know of software that can scan specified folder(s) on PC and generate a (text?) file with list of installed VSTs? Last time I was moving to a new computer I just made a screenshot of my folder and that worked pretty fine, but definitely it's not an optimal approach.

Well, I'm ahead of you - I keep everything in one folder, with sub-folders for vendors.
BUT, I want to exchange a list of VSTs I have with person I'm about to collaborate with (so that we could avoid bouncing stuff to audio, at least initially), so "looking in my folder" isn't really helpful, is it?

CrimsonWarlock aka TechnoGremlin, using Reaper and a fine selection of freeware plugins.

Search for .dll and print screen?

Code: Select all
dir /s *.dll >%USERPROFILE%\documents\dll_files.txt

There'll be a ton of .dlls that are nothing to do with plugins. I hope they're easy to differentiate. My laptop has 94,971 .dll files on the C: drive.
[W10-64, T5/6/7/W8/9/10/11/12/13, 32(to W8)&64 all, Spike],[W7-32, T5/6/7/W8, Gina16] everything underused.

Yep, this is the option I always use for these kinds of tasks.whyterabbyt wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 9:23 amCode: Select all

But to get a more clean list, I use "dir /n/b".
Another but. Don't expect this to work on Waves Audio plugins

On the C: drive, yes, but in most cases you have all your plugins in one folder (or two if you have VST3) with a couple of sub folders.
