Now I've found out and maybe some of you already knew it.
DAWs like Cubase and Studio One, I don't know if everyone does it like that, only search for VST3 in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 folder under Windows and the additional folders that you can set as search folders in the programs are only used to search for VST2 files.
If, like me, you want to put the VST3 in other folders, you can set a symbolic link in the VST3 directory.
To do this, you can use the mklink command in the command prompt and use it like this, for example:
mklink /J source directory target directory
I did it like this:
mklink /J .\ikm f:\vst
So I put a symbolic link called ikm in my VST directory that points to f:\vst and the VST3 files located there are found.
