If you're using a cracked version: Our plugins are not guaranteed to work, and we cannot sometimes provide support for installation or functionality issues.

💡 Common Issue: Legacy Installation Paths

Most problems occur when Virtual DJ has been continuously updated from older versions (e.g., 2021 → 2024).

Legacy Path (Pre-2025):

C:\Users\[username]\Documents\VirtualDJ

Used by Virtual DJ 2024 and earlier versions

New Path (2025-2026):

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualDJ

Used by fresh installations of Virtual DJ 2025 and newer

Why? Virtual DJ continues using old path locations from the original installation.

Solution: If you completely delete Virtual DJ and wipe all settings/playlists, the new version will install into the AppData folder with fresh paths.

⚠️ Note: This will delete all your settings, playlists, and custom configurations
