I have read 0009273 and it does not seem to me to be the same problem. The scan is not hanging up, its finishing with a scan failed error message. I've tried deleting the cache and the blacklist and the problem is still there.

Should I be adding notes to this issue or should I be adding to 0009273?

In Mark Knecht's final note it looks like the problem is still there. "1) The laptop has Mixbus32C-7, Mixbus32C-9 and Ardour-7.3.0. On that machine all 3 versions of the programs cause the error for the sforzando VST3 which is, on this machine, the only plugin that uses this new Steinberg directory structure. This machine has some Native Instrument plugins. They don't use the structure and they are fine."

It looks like the solution to the "scan not finishing" problem that Mark Knecht came up with was to let the scan program run for 4 minutes. I used the scan program and let it run for over 30 minutes and it still did not finish and did not create a cache file.
