Adobe Audition 3.0 crashes when enabling Waves Gold v10 Plugins

After IT rebuilt my studio computer I now can't load Waves Gold V10 plugins on Adobe Audition 3.0. Adobe crashes every time I try to enable them in the VST manager. Waves support says the plugins are not compatible with AA 3.0, however I had no issue with this plugin package on two other machines using AA 3.0. Tried reinstalling everything but no luck. Using Windows 10. Any advice? Thanks.

Waves are pretty clear about this on this page where they potentially give you a workaround. However you look at it, you had to be running something like this previously in order for them to run at all on Audition 3 which is resolutely 32-bit - that or use jBridge.

Thanks. Actually I don't believe I ran that on the previous machines. Both had v10 and were 64-bit just like this rebuild. That's why this is so perplexing. Another forum suggested updating AA to 3.0.1 but I am skeptical.

Well, you may not believe it, but you'd be the only person in the world who managed to run 64-bit plugins on Audition 3 without one of these two options. Updating to 3.0.1 wouldn't make a scrap of difference to this either - it's resolutely 32-bit code. So I'm afraid you are mistaken.

I suspect that it was the Waves fix. That comes in the form of an installer, and it allows products released before 10th September 2015 to be installed as 32-bit apps - in other words, the code is in there somewhere, but you need the correct installer to enable it.
