It's a small point, but might save some time. You don't have to do them one
at a time. Use a binary search. Try half of them, then half of those (or the
other half), etc. You will narrow it down faster.

The only new plug-ins I tried recently are Jari's. So I erased all of
them. No help. I then deleted all the plug-ins I remember adding (RP,
TGTools, etc.). Still no help. But when I delete all the plug-ins in the
folder, the error message dissapears. So, unless someone has tips to
offer as to which could be the culprit, I'll have to delete them one by

My first guess would be Apply Human Playback or the FinaleScript 
plug-in, and that it might crash because of some missing file in the 
"Component Files" folder.


But I hope you don't actually delete the plug-ins while doing the 
detective work of the crashing plug-in? Just drag the plug-ins out of 
the Plug-ins folder tree.


You can drag out complete plug-ins subfolders (and reinsert one plug-ins 
subfolder at a time) and see when the crashing stops/starts. Then you 
know which of the folders that contain the crashing plug-in and can go 
from there

Even if you are logged on in an administrator account, you may have to
right-click on the installer or the Finale exe file and select "Run as
administrator." I couldn't get rid of PhotoShop's legal verbiage until I did
that.

Are you logged in as admin during installation? Anti-virus turned OFF 
during installation?
