- How to Install dll and instruments files in FL Studio
Sometimes you may only have a .dll file and possibly a .instruments file when downloading a new VST for FL Studio... and you're like "WTF am I supposed to do with these?" No worries! This tutorial will show you how to "install" them. It's literally just dragging them to the right folder and scanning for new plugins in FL Studio.
VST Example used: Analog Obsession Fiver EQ (free)

Tutorials for FL have been hard to come by for years (I started on v5) until FL Studio 12 and it's nice to see something very easy to follow. Thanks!
Either this tutorial is out of date, my computer is weird, or something about how FL installs has changed. The folder "VSTPlugins" does not seem to exist, it isn't in program files and I can't find it anywhere else. It also isn't listed as one of the file paths in the plugin manager. Placing the dll file in Image-Line > FL Studio 21 > Plugins > fruity > generators will let fl find the plugin but it won't open. It might be because it's a win32 vst? I'm not sure. If anyone has any fixes I need some help.
OH MY GOD IVE SPENT THE LAST TWO HOURS TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH YOURE THE BEST AND I HOPE YOUVE HAD/HAVE AN AMAZING DAY GOOD SIR
No problem, glad I could help
So if I download a vst, and I cant open it in fl studio because a DLL file is missing in the vst folder, will I drag the DLL files? Please suggest something.
thank you so much dude, i keep coming back to this vid to figure out how to get my dll files to work
My FL won't install with a "Vstplugins" folder. I've uninstalled and re-installed half a dozen times. I've tried installing into the fruity folder, custom folders, but nothing. It shows the path program files\image-line\fl studio 21\plugins\VST\ but, when I select the path from the plugin manager, it just sends me to program files\image-line. It shows the path existing, but it seemingly doesn't. I can't find the path any other way either. If I drop .dll files into any of the folders here, they literally don't even show up in the file explorer, though it says they're there. I'm at my wits' end here. This computer is literally brand new, just unboxed it yesterday and the copy of FL is legitimate, not cracked. I'm not trying to install dodgy plugins either, one I'm trying to install is Dimension Expander by Xfer Records. Even with the installer, it won't pickup that VST. So far, it's only picked up Serum, OTT, and Ample Bass II. Any suggestions?
Do you know how to fix if you dragged the wrong sample folder into your vst... because I got the free yojo vst and the X-eight vst but mistakingly put yojo file in X-eight now I don't know how to put the correct sample folder in... I've tried everything can you help me
Awww man, I haven’t come across that before. It’s hard to help without seeing what’s going on
bro great tutorial but for some reason i dont have the Vstplugins folder in program files. any solution? (i also reinstalled fl stduio but still had the problem)
Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question. When I put a folder containing a .dll file in one of the routed folders that are listed in 'Manage plug-ins', it won't show up on the list. Also won't show up when I restart FL studio. I haven't gotten a .vst3 file in the download, is that mandatory for it to work?
up
I've ben strugling with this for so long, thanks man you're goated!
No problem
Thank you so much man subbed for this, i really was frustrated thank you !
No problem
hi there, question for ya, Ive been having the issue of QuickFontCache.dll not found when I try to open FL, Ive downloaded both the 32 and 64bit files and rebooted, FL Still doesnt work.. Any recommendatiosn? Thanks !!
I didnt have a VST file, just a dll and a mse file.
when i instyalled, it said "cannot find any instruments"
Huh... maybe it has to do with the default folders FL Studio searches for VSTs. Likely a file path issue.
ty man but i have a question, is it the same for .mse files?
Thanks! But I don't have VST Plugins on program files...
10/10 tutorial, preciate it
Your a beast thabkyou
Hey, I encountered a problem. Whenever I download a VSTi plugin (for example MODO Bass, and I've been looking for a decent and cheap electric guitar VSTi but no luck), firstly usually they are downloaded in the form of .rar file (because Windows 11 doesn't automatically download them as zip folders). I then compress the .rar folder to a zip one, and then I extract to any of the VST locations on FL Studio. But when it finishes extracting, it isn't automatically made into the right file format (dll). Please help me.
Also, what's the difference between VST2, VST3 and plain VST?
Thanks!
Hey Coco,
There was a big improvement made with VST3 where it only reads the audio signal, instead of using CPU to process everything...
Electric Guitars... There's a couple of good free ones, depending if you want something clean or something distorted.
Clean - check out Spitfire's Peel guitar
Distorted - check out Shreddage 3 Stratus
And finally - you may need a program like WinRAR to unzip RAR files directly.
I hope this helps :)
thanks man! i installed 2 zip type plugins and i thought they had an EXE file inside but it had a DLL instead.
Damn you got 313 lit vst too 🤣🤝🏻
I’m on windows 11 and it doesn’t say extract here so how do I change a file to dll a different way ? Thanks
Hmmmm… not sure I don’t have Windows 11. A program like WINRAR or 7-Zip should do the trick.
thank you!
simple and easy to follow instructions!
Glad it helped!
is this mean when they say it not a set up?
thank you so much daddy

That’s ok… you only need it in one place to use it
@@jasondowtymusic What's that one Place?
@@Zenaro66 Check the video at 2:10…. Manage plugins shows all the file paths it’s using to access plugins. It just has to be in one of those folders
