Hello Michael,

1. You must install Python 2.4.2 or ActivePython 2.4.2.10 to get rid of the 
error message (you will be able to use CsoundVST to its full potential).
2. The Winsound.exe is in the bin folder
3. You must modified the line of the csound command 
(start-program-csound-csound), either "C:\Program 
Files\Csound\bin\winsound.exe" if you want to call winsound or "C:\Program 
Files\Csound\bin\csound.exe" if you want to call a command line csound.

-mdd

Thanks Marc. 

Installing Python fixed Csound VST, it looks great. I can run Csound from
the command line. Start-Program-csound icon was pointed at csound5.01.exe,
so I see how that would require modification.

There is no Winsound.exe in the the bin folder with either of the two
installers mentioned previously. Do you know if I can get the executable
somewhere?

Also, if I run csound from command line how do I set things up so it knows
where to look if I am using samples?
