I have just installed Finale 2007 on a Vista PC with Kontakt Native Instrument VST.
Finale 2007 and Kontakt seem to be working okay with Vista.
I tried to install Native Instruments B4 as well but with no success. I have copied the relevant dll into the FinaleVST directory.
Clicking on the 'select Native Instruments VST setup' from the Midi Menudrop for Finale Channels 1 to 16 only shows Kontakt and not B4.
What have I not done, or have done wrong?

I have been through this exercise under XP with no problems.

I am not sure if the B4 is supported in Finale.

If you choose Kontakt from the NI Set-up window is the B4 loaded in the Kontakt Player 2?

Does the B4 run stand-alone in KP2 or does it need an update?

I found the solution to the problem.

The B4 dll files required later versions than those installed. Once the updated dlls were installed, the B4 option appeared.

Thanks for trying to help.
