How to install Sylenth1

After downloading Sylenth1, double-click the "Sylenth1Win.zip" file to open it. Then double-click the "Sylenth1Win.exe" file to start the installer.

Open the zip file.

When the Setup Wizard launches, click "Next", "I accept the agreement" followed by another "Next". Now you'll be asked to select the components to install. Sylenth1 is available as both 32 and 64-bit VST2 plug-in. Select only the 64-bit version if you're using a 64-bit host program. Select only the 32-bit version if you're using a 32-bit host. Then click "Next".

Select Components

On the next page choose the folders where the plug-ins and data should be installed. The data folder should be installed in a location where you have permissions to read and write (so NOT in the Program Files folder!). Your home Documents folder is usually a good choice.

For the plug-in folder, choose the folder where your VST plug-ins are located. Make sure to use different folders for 32 and 64bit plug-ins. Remember which folder you choose, because you'll be needing it later on! On Windows 64-bit, you should always install 64-bit applications in the 64-bit "Program Files" folder and 32-bit applications in the 32-bit "Program Files (x86)" folder.

Now click "Next", "Next", "Install" and "Finish" to complete the installation.
