    Stevesong, Don't you think that Finale must also do his part of the work and be open to ALL AU plug-ins? Would made one of the best music soft in the world! Nice holiday time... AL

    It would, of course, be ideal if Finale could use plugins other than those made or "powered by" Native Instruments. However, the current limitation on Finale's plugin capabilities is the result of a contractual agreement between MakeMusic (the company that makes Finale) and Native Instruments. I have no idea of the duration of this contract.

    In the meantime, like me, quite a few people who need to use Finale and Vienna Ensemble have run into the problem I described. I found a workaround and I wanted to share it with others while we await a better solution from either MakeMusic or VSL.

    Cheers,

    I have been having exactly the same problem that Stephen describes, very long delays launching Finale 2008 (and 2008a), on both my desktop and laptop, and waiting....... for VE to launch. Thanks very much for the workaround, Steve. Michael

    I am writing to ask if this vsl/finale interaction problem is (still) being looked at by the vsl team. Thanks, Michael

    Bump... Any news, any hope? Possible preference option to exclude Finale or other programs that do not play well with VE?

    Wow...It's march 2009 and this is still a problem with Finale 2008b.r1 and Vienna Instruments Second Edition. I don't have my vienna key on me (I travel, and have one too few USB ports...I guess I should start carrying my USB hub, but it's a pain). I literally couldn't get finale to launch at all. Anyway Stephen your solution worked. Thanks for your help. I personally know two other people that are having problems launching finale 2008 with vienna instruments. When are you guys going to fix this?

    bump...still no resolution for this...still a problem at home and at the lab. Also, when I put my component files back, VE and VI wouldn't work. I reinstalled VE and VI, and it still wouldn't work. Deleted and added the paths again in directory manager, and it wouldn't work either. Finally, I had to delete those component files and reinstall, and then it started working again. Just FYI.

    And now finale won't start again. I'm uninstalling VSL. This is terrible.

    Hi Jordon:

    I notice that you are using 2008 and I am sure that there are good reasons for this. I just wanted to mention that 2010 works with VSL, though there are stuck notes from time to time with HP.
