This did not work for me. The initial install from the DVD doesn't install the Symphonic Choirs folder with the V1.0 app on my MacPro OSX 10.5 so neither the instructions above nor the Leopard Patch worked to solve the problem. No solution yet.
I have the same problem as Gregory Moore. When I re-install the application, no folder appears in the East West folder or anywhere else on the computer even though the installer tells me it has been successful.
Same problem...doesn't install the east west folder.
Exactly the same problem here, impossible having the folder east west/symphonic choirs... please NI do something
