Finale template help

[aaron70893]

Hello I was told to get the 2014 VDL template for finale to match up due to my kontakt 6 player not showing up on my finale v 26. Im currently running windows 10 and the 64 bit for finale

thanks !

Thanks for joining the forum. Is there a specific issue you are having with the templates or Finale?

It is important to review the ReadMe documentation for installing the templates and supporting files.

Yes i did review the ReadMe documentation i do need help setting it up as its my first time having to use a template to make it work correctly  however i am not using a mac format and i am using windows 10 which i do need some assistance on setting up via windows as its a different layout than the mac side

The locations are at the bottom of page 7 and on to page 8. Windows 10 is similar to the Windows versions mentioned. You will also need to located some hidden folders. The steps for unhiding those folders can be found with a Google search. There is also information in this link https://forum.thewritescore.com/index.php?topic=708.0 . The link is for a post in this forum.

I turned everything on when you paste the doc your looking for as in ( C:\Documents and Settings\(your account)\Application Data\MakeMusic\Finale 2014 ) you go to run and copy and paste the link correct ?  thats what iv been doing so far and nothings appeared

[TBoliske]

I'm not certain I understand. Are you saying that the hidden folder does not appear after you unhide them or that after you unhide them that the copied files don't appear?

The process should be to unhide the folders, copy the files, and then paste them into the folders as listed in the ReadMe.

C:\Documents and Settings\(your account)\Application Data\MakeMusic\Finale 2014

This is a path to where the folders are located so that you can copy files from the template package and paste them in the correct locations.
