Hi Robert,
Remember to download all the latest Finale 2007 and GPO-related
updates from the MakeMusic website if you want to be able to use the
the GPO instruments natively.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Hello list, hello Darcy,
I contacted Darcy off-list, but I'm glad he posted my mail here. While
trying to find a solution to get the GPO Finale Edition up and
running with
Kontakt Player 2 on an Intel Mac, I've read posts from users having
similar
problems I had.
Double-clicking CD 1 of the Finale 2007 package shows two
installers: One
named "start here" (which I guess I clicked) and an Installation
Wizard. At
some point during the installation process I chose "easy setup" to
install
everything there is.
I was quite sure the installation was successful and complete, but
there was
no GPO Finale Edition available within Finale. The installer didn't
prompt
for the second disc that comes with the package when I ran the
installation,
but CD 2 actually contains a GPO library-file: "Finale_GPO_Lib2.nks".
CD 1 back into my drive, I noticed a folder named "GPO". Promising!
I ran
the installer in that folder, it prompted me to switch to disc 2,
et voilà,
finally the GPO-Instruments are available in the Setup Wizard. Easy
thing,
looong story.
Good luck to all Apple-Intel-NI-Garritan-Users!
Regards from Berlin, Germany,
Robert

Robert,
Seriously, for now you should really just use GPO Finale Edition for
now (which is what MM is touting on their website). GPO Full for K2
is experts-only at this point and it is extremely buggy and does not
work well with Human Playback. Even the installation process is
laborious and time-consuming, and you most likely won't be happy with
the results anyway.
Or *are* you using GPO Finale Edition? It's hard to tell from your
message. You have to understand the difference between the two
proucts -- GPO Finale Edition comes with Finale. GPO Finale Edition
does not have the same problems as GPO Full. Provided you have
downloaded and installed all the appropriate updates from MakeMusic,
you should be able to use the Setup Wizard to add GPO instruments. If
you can't do that, then I can't help you -- you need to consult MM
tech support.
You might also take a look at the file "GPOHP Tutorial
Supplement.pdf" found in your User Manual folder.
Cheers,
- Darcy
