Finale Forum

I just installed High Sierra. Finale 25.5 opened just fine.

I'm using Audio Units Banks & Effects for playback - i.e., the Garritan sounds. But I'm getting no sound at all on playback. From the error message I get when I try to go Audio Units Banks & Effects -> Aria Player -> Edit, I get the error (below). It looks to me like Finale can't find the sound files. Is this right? And how can I fix it? Here's the error message:

I think this is my user error. The upgrade to High Sierra was an error-plagued all day affair with several long (hour+) calls with Apple Support. In the course of one of these calls we deleted a lot of files - including the Garritan Sound Files. I'm in the process of restoring them now; hopefully, all will be well once that's complete.
