Indeed, the installer provided on the Releases page seems to install about 50MB of files to %localappdata%\Surge and the rest (uninstaller) ends up in the path the user actually specified. The DLL is found in neither of those two paths.

Slightly related: The default path the installer wants to install to is %localappdata\Surge; including the trailing Semicolon. This seems to not be intentional and maybe has something to do with this issue.

For me the DLL ended up in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2\

Hello Hello :) Had the same problem, no prompting about where I need to install the files, found the vst3 and the dll in the directory mentionned above...

In the upcoming 18 release it will tell you where the VST3 is installed. The answer is:

Q: Where is Surge synthesizer installed on Windows?
A: Surge is installed to the default VST3 plugin path, which means:

32-bit path - C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3\Surge Synth Team
64-bit path - C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Surge Synth Team

We advise you to NOT move the plugin to any other folder on your system. We also advise you not to move the C:\ProgramData\Surge\ folder anywhere else, or bad things will happen!
