Finale Forum

Now when I open the project, it tells me it was "created with ARIA 1.9.6.7 and you have 1.9.5.9. Please update." Well! In the Garritan downloads there is no such download as ARIA 1.9.6.7!!! Just the current 1.9.5.9.

I should reveal I've had a curse on my life since age 13. I could tell you stuff what's besieged me all these years!

You are receiving that error message because the file you are opening used a different Aria Engine version than what you currently have installed on your computer. If you go to MIDI/Audio > Reassign Playback Sounds, the playback should work just fine.

The Aria Engine is used for other libraries other than Garritan Instruments. Aria has released updates to the Aria Engine that are not necessarily required by the Garritan libraries. So, although you are not required to install these updates, you can. The updates are available at Aria's website: http://ariaengine.com/support/

Read this thread which discussed the current state of versioning in ARIA player, and includes a link for the ARIA Engine 1.9.6.7.

But realistically, you should file support tickets with MM for all of your problems.
