It's been a while since I've done this: I've extracted my plug-ins to my Finale 27 folder in my system, but they're not showing up in the program. Do I need to extract items from the bundle folders themselves? If so, what and to where, please?

I'm a Mac user, but it should be similar if not identical. All I need to do is place a JW bundle into the Finale 27:Plugins folder. Then just restart Finale. Should work for you as well.

No plug-in folder. All there is in the pic I attached.

Look in Preferences/Folders for the location of the plug-ins. Restart Finale after putting them there.

"bundle" sounds like you got the Mac version.

Could it be that your profile is not up to date, and that you are now using a Mac ?
Your image is quite confusing, I see MacOs X and INI files (Windows).
Motet is correct, the .bundle files are for the Mac.

As of today most of the plug-ins are included in 27.3 so no installation is needed.

Right. Literally as I was trying to solve this, the update came through. Timing.
