I'm not sure if it's a Sibelius problem or a VE3 problem, but the Solo String soundset doesn't show up in Sibelius. 

Hello Ben!

Did you load the right version of the sound set (Sibelius 5.1 or 5.2)? They are not compatible and the sound set will only show up, if you have installed the right version of it.

Which folder did you copy it to?

Please copy it to one of the following locations:

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\Sibelius Software\Sibelius 5\Sounds
or C:\Programs\Sibelius Software\Sibelius 5\Sounds

Windows Vista: C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\Sibelius Software\Sibelius 5\Sounds

Mac OS X: /Users/your username/Library/Application Support/Sibelius Software/Sibelius 5/Sounds

 You may have to create the "Sounds" folder if it doesn't exist.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, Andi. I'm using Sibelius 5.2 on XP64, but it's still not working.

I put the XML is this folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\Sibelius Software\Sibelius 5\Sounds 

Just to be clear, this is the place I should be seeing it, correct?

Look in the active devices panel. 

Hello Ben!

Yes, the sound set should appear in this window. If it does not, it is either copied to the wrong folder or you took the sund set for Sibelius 5.1. They are not compatible.

Here is what I've been told by the Sibelius guys regarding the sound set folder for Sibelius 5.2:

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\Sibelius Software\Sibelius 5\Sounds
Windows Vista: C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\Sibelius Software\Sibelius 5\Sounds
Mac OS X: /Users/your username/Library/Application Support/Sibelius Software/Sibelius 5/Sounds

Sibelius will look in the user's area first, then the All users area and then the
Program Files sounds folder. All of them will allow Sibelius to find the sound sets.

Hope, it works now.

So, what's next? :D

Please, have a little patience. [;)]
