Subject:Aria for Acid 7... Stupid Question

Hey, forgive me for the ridiculous question, but how do you start Aria? I installed it and registered it. Got the image you're supposed to drag into the program, but I can't find an application anywhere. I installed it a few times, and am completely lost. I hope it's just something silly I'm missing and feel stupid for even having to ask this. I'm new to windows vista and am realizing somethings don't play nice with each in the 64 bit world. Is that what is causing me issues? What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone help me out in the steps to launch the Garritan Aria Player in Acid 7?

You add ARIA as a soft-synth in ACID.

This can be done from

- The mix console: Click the "add softsynth..>" tool bar button.
- The Plug-in Manager view: Locate ARIA and either
1. Right click and select "Insert Soft Synth"
2. Drag ARIA to the Mix Console to add a soft-synth bus
3. Drag ARIA to the main time line track area and a track routed to ARIA will be created.

Thanks for the info. I tried to find Aria through the plugin manager, but couldn't find it. When I navigate to the Garritan folder, Acid doesn't show anything there.

I was able to get Kitcore to work but Aria is a mystery. Would there be something wrong in the installation? Are there things I can check for trouble shooting?
