I came across this thread as I was trying to update Waves Central from V10 to V11 this morning. I anticipated problems because I'm still on Windows 7 (64) and sure enough... there were problems.
At the heart of it... I couldn't get V11 to install at all. There was no going forward or backward because even if I reinstalled V10, it wanted to auto-update, only to end up crashing. I tried (on my own) various options that were suggested in their tech support sections, but nothing was working. Eventually, I just went straight to their phone support. That ended up with me granting them access to my PC through their remote troubleshooting utility. They had it sorted out fairly quickly but it involved a work-around that I can't even hardly explain. Something was added to my desktop that seems to allow WC V10 to be installed and operate without the auto-update feature enabled.
Some of my Waves plugins had fallen off the support/update bandwagon, but the rest were updated to V11 and seem to be functioning fine on Win 7, with this kludged version of Waves Central 10. Reaper scanned through them all they are all working fine (so far as I can tell lol)
All of this stems from my resolve to keep Win 7 on my DAW workstation for as long as possible. I had problems with some older legacy software drivers in Windows 10, which is why I reverted back to Win 7. I know at some point I'll be forced to deal with that transition but for now, everything is working as expected.
So... anyway.... calling Waves was not painful and it got me where I needed to be. I salute their staff. I suggest anyone having problems just bite the bullet and call them. Good luck!
