Loading EW into Finale

Windows 7 Finale 2014.5

I can't figure out how to do this, despite instructions from several sources. I've gone:

MIDI/Audio -> Device Setup -> Manage VST Plugin Directories.

Here's where I'm not sure where to locate what I need. There are EW folders under both Program Files and Program Files (x86), but none of the tutorials I've found explains which folder or subfolder to load. I've tried almost all of them, but none of them then register in my Score Manager.

What you need to locate is Play, the sample playback engine used by EW libraries. You should be able to see where it's placed during installation. Note that the current versions of Play are 64bit, which won't work in the 32bit versions of Finale (i.e. 2014.5). You'll need to download and install an older version, 4.3.5, which can be found here:
