Vst Plugins Not Showing Up In Audacity

Install Vst In Audacity
I am using ableton live lite which on the website shows it supports vst plugins. I have set up custom folders and pointed ableton to them and re scanned multiple times, i have re installed plugins multiple times to different locations to try to fix the problem nothing worked. The only plugins that show up are plugins that have a .vst3 extension any .dll plugins whether it is 32 or 64 bit will not show up in ableton no matter what i try, i have tried the articles on the help website and tried all the steps i have wiped my entire system and did a clean install and tried the steps above to see if it was an external process that was interfering but i still have the same problem no .dll plugin will load no matter where i put it no matter where i install no matter what i do it does not show up in ableton, i have no idea what to do. The website only provides support for intro, standard and suite so i am out of luck.Audacity can load VST effects (but not VST instruments) on all operating systems. The VST Enabler is no longer required. Install the VST effects to the Audacity Plug-Ins folder on Windows, to /Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-Ins on OS X/macOS or to system locations. Ive had this problem ever since i reinstalled windows 7, on my previous install most vst plugins seemed to show up although i remember the waves bundle not working within cubase 5, now some plugins just simply refuse to show up no matter how many times i reinstall them or put them in a different location and change my vst search folder. After plug-ins have been scanned, they are available in the Effects menu. Near the bottom of the menu dropdown are 3 items: VST, VST3, and AU. VST: Contains VST 2.4 plug-ins which are organized by manufacturer. For instance, all plug-ins by iZotope will be in a flyout submenu labeled “iZotope” VST3: Contains VST 3.0 plug-ins which are.
