Some plug-ins may also have a standalone version which is separate from the VST version. Don't install the standalone and VST versions to the same folder.

My VST folder is where I install my plugins and I use the Organised folder as my VST directory in Ableton. Once I've installed a plugin to my VST folder, I'll right click on the.dll file for that plugin and create a shortcut, then put the shortcut in the Organised folder. I'll go through and do this for every plugin I install.

UPDATE: Both problems solved.I got AmpliTube 4 to work in standalone mode by removing version 4.03 and installing version 4.02 in it's place.
To get Amplitube 4 working as a plug-in, the two files you need to copy into your host plug-ins folder are:
1. C:Program FilesVstPlugInsAmpliTube 4 .dll

2. C:Program FilesCommon FilesAmpliTube 4.vst3I can't swear to it, but I don't recall seeing the file referred to in 1. on my file system until after I removed v4.03 and replaced it v4.02.
Anyhow, update posted in the even it might help someone else.
ORIGINAL PROBLEM STATEMENT:
I'm trying to use AmpliTube 4 and Fender bundle (licensed) on Windows 10. Can someone please tell me exactly what AmpliTube file(s) I need to copy into my host plug-ins folder to use the plug-in and where on the Windows 10 file system I might find them?

So far, I have managed to bring Mobius 2 via JBridge and Cubase Groove Agent 4 VST's into my custom plug-ins folder on Ableton Live 9 (64-bit) and Ableton sees them no problem so I obviously understand the process in general and Ableton is not the problem, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what AmpliTube 4 files I'm supposed to be dropping in my plugins folder.
As an aside, Amplitube 4 standalone stubbornly refuses to use the native ASIO driver of my Steinberg UR44 interface. Standalone Cubase Groove Agent 4 and Positive Grid Bias FX have no problems in that regard.So, as it stands, I can't use AmpliTube 4 at all. Not in standalone mode because it refuses to use my audio interface's native ASIO driver and not as a VST plugin because I can't find the right files to drop in my host plugins folder.
My primary concern right now is getting Amplitube 4 to work as a VST plug-in, so can someone please tell me which AmpliTube VST-related files I need to be looking for?
Thank you.
Installing a VST without the aid of an executable file is easily enough done, if you know how.
If you’ve ever downloaded a file in zip or rar fromat or as a *dll file and not know what to do then this guide is for you.
I’m taking the presumption that you do not know what a zip or rar file is just for the benefit of those that don’t.
This little guide should ring true for most DAWs, In this case I know it works for Sonar, Reaper and Cubase.
For each VST instrument or effect that you install Sonar and Reaper require that you scan afterwards to find knew plugins. Cubase I’m not sure about.

Winrar is a small software program that allows you to uncompreess files, most VSTs come in *.zip or *. rar format winrar can open both types of file and it’s very easy to use. Download it here.
[—-Where—-]
Once you’ve installed winrar you’re next job is to locate your VST folder, if you’ve installed Cubase then it’s almost definitely C:Program FilesSteinbergVstplugins Free vst plugin distortion.
Go to my computer, click on C: drive and navigate to that folder and see if it’s there, if not then see if there’s a VST Plugins folder in C:Program Files.
These are the two standard places to look.
[Tip:If you have two hard drives or partitions it’s an idea to create a folder here and add it to your DAWs vst folder list.]
[—-Install VST—-]
Hopefully you have a VST plugin instrument or effect that you’ve recently downloaded from the internet.
This file if downloaded as a zip or rar file should now be opened with winrar.
Step 1: Winrar: Select file to extract,
Winrar: Click Extract to Button,
Destination path: If you know your destination folder then you can type that here, example;
C:Program FilesSteinbergVstplugins,
If you’re not sure then use the navigation window to locate your plugins folder,
Click ok,
You should now have a nice new VST plugin extracted to your VST folder.
Fire up Sonar, Sonar will automatically scan your vst folder for you.
Reaper should do the same.
