Hmmm, I'm starting to suspect an issue with how you extracted all the stuff.
VSTa on a DOS filesystem assumes truncation of the filename to 8.3 (8-letter
filename, 3-letter file extension). It sounds like your extraction kept the
full filename in the new filesystem format (which is legit), but renamed the
truncated version to one of those new *~<number>.<extension) files. VSTa
doesn't do long filenames under DOS, and the short filename is no longer the
one it expects to find. This explanation would seem to fit the symptoms?
Can you look around in /vsta and find all the *~1.* filenames under /vsta?
What happens if you rename them to 8.3 truncated filenames?
