Error when trying to use vst4cs

Hello,
I downloaded Michael Gogin's installer for Csound version 6.04 with the vst4cs opcodes. I keep getting the same syntax error which suggests the opcodes may not be recognized no matter how I modify my orchestra. I'm pasting the error and the source file below. Any help would be appreciated! I use Windows 10.
Thank you,
d.vyd

Hi,
I've continued to troubleshoot my problem with vst4cs. I'm basing my attempts on Michael Gogins' example here: http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/vstinit.html . I redownloaded the version of Csound with the vst4cs opcodes and downloaded the recent version of the Pianoteq demo referenced in the vstinit example.
When I select "configure" in CsoundQT, I get the following error: "No real-time audio modules were found. Make sure OPCODE6DIR64 is set properly in your system or the configuration dialog. " I am not sure if this is causing the later error I receive, but I've
been unable to set it properly. Is it an environment variable? Where should it point? I am using Windows 10.
When I run the code pasted further below, I receive this error in the terminal window:
Z:\Users\david\Documents\projects\My_Music\Csound>echo "csound.exe -b1024 -j4 -+rtaudio=null -iadc -odac --env:CSNOSTOP=yes "Z:/Users/david/Documents/projects/My_Music/Csound/vstinit_test_01.csd" "

Either you don't have the VST opcodes in your installation of Csound, or you do, but they are a different CPU architecture than your Csound. The official release of Csound does not have the VST opcodes, you have to get that release from my Web site. Hope this helps, On Sep 7, 2016 7:23 PM, "d.vyd@outlook.com" <d.vyd@outlook.com> wrote:

Thank you Mike. I'm using Setup_Csound6_6.05.2beta-vst.exe from your website. CsoundQT & Csound seem to work fine. The issue seems to be just with the VST opcodes. Do I need to enable them somehow? I'm using 64bit Windows 10. Could that be the problem? From: A discussion list for users of Csound <CSOUND@LISTSERV.HEANET.IE> on behalf of Michael Gogins <michael.gogins@GMAIL.COM>

You have the opcodes. The problem is something else. As I recall that build of Csound is for 32 bit CPU architecture. It may be that your VST plugins are for 64 bit CPU architecture. As I recall Pianoteq comes with both, try the other one. About Windows 10, I don't know, I don't have it yet.
