An update:
I had problems with loading VSTs through SAVIHost, which I had recommended earlier, but with FSTHost my professional VST instruments (Garritan Personal Orchestra, some from IK Multimedia, and Arturia Mini V) all load and play perfectly so far.
So, should anyone have problems with loading VSTs (I had no luck with Festige) try FSTHost.
