	Installation

Q: How do I install plugin for Winamp5 ?

A: Winamp5 has the same format as Winamp2.

Ensure that you are not trying to install Winamp3 plugin. Download universal distribution here.

If the installer was still unable to find your winamp, then

Copy Program Files\4front-oss3d-7\dsp_oss3ddsp.dll
    to Winamp5 Plugins folder,

That will do the trick, and then you will be able to enable plugin via Winamp5 preferences
(Press Ctrl-P, select DSP plugins on the left, and OSS/3D on the right).

Q: There is no plugin visible in the player

A: First, ensure that you use Universal distribution. If you do, and there is still no plugin in the player, submit a support request.
