[RWP] "Some Components Are Not Found"

Hi Gian,
I found the roming folder and I did find a Reaper folder in there with components in it which are not present in the X86 programs Reaper folder. I tried moving these items to the Roming folder where the other Reaper folder was. No success there, so I tried moving everything back to the X86 programs file folder. No luck when I did that either. I’m still getting the same prompt no matter which location the Reaper folder is in. So are there yet more components missing do you think that are elsewhere, or should the Reaper folder be in a different location? This is driving me crazy!
Thanks,
Rikki.

Hi Rikki and all,
I think this is all due to where reaper installs the configuration components when you first run it without reaaccess. I had a similar problem once and managed to fix it. What happened to me was that windows for some odd reasons changed the path to where reaper installed the config and other components. The usual path should be C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\REAPER. To locate your user folder you can do the following.
Type windows+R and then tipe the period sign, press enter and your in your user folder. In there look for AppData\roaming; if you don't find any folder named REAPER that's the problem. The folder has not to be empty but must contain other folders in it like ColorThemes etc, those are the missing components reaaccess wants. Probably windows decided to put those in another path. What I did is creating an empty folder named REAPER so that reaaccess could install. I then found were windows put the missing components and manually moved what reaaccess put in the folder I've created in its proper path.
I tried my best to explain what happened to me and I hope it helps, even if it sounds confusing.
Best regards,
Gianluca from Italy

Hi Kerry,
Well this beats me! I did exactly as you said, double checked that the user account control is definitely turned off, and still got the same result with the version of Reaper that you suggested. I think Jim is right! God obviously objects to me using Reaper on this laptop for some reason!
Regards,
Rikki

No worries. I just tried it on an XP machine with no problem at all. That at least gives me a couple of options, as I have another laptop with Jaws on it which is running XP. I’m now going to try and fool my Windows 7 machine by copying the folder from the program files directory on the XP machine onto my Windows 7 laptop, as I really would like to use this machine. It’s a really nice setup. Failing that, I’ll go with XP. That laptop needed to find a good use anyway!
Regards,
Rikki.

Yep, I see from below, that you already discussed this. Sorry.
When you installed reaper, did you mess with any of the optional checkboxes? or did you just leave them at their default settings.
Likewise when installing ReAccess.
If I were you, I would uninstall both of them, and reboot my machine. Then, install reper, leaving all selections defaulted.
Run reaper, an drink a really nice cup of hot tea while it thinks about itself, then close reaper.
Then, install ReAccess, leaving all selections defaulted.
If it still doesn't work, I would throw up my hands, and conclude that God didn't want me to do this.
I wish I could help further. Or, even at all, for that matter.
I'm ot an NVDA user, so I'm not sure if that has any impact, but I doubt it. I think several people are using that.

Hi,
I hate to be difficult, but I did all that! I even tried going back to version 3.78 and the same thing happened. Another stupid question, but is there a specific length of time I should keep reaper open. I don’t get any prompts that tell me that any kind of setup has finished or to wait for a setup to finish. I’m stuck for ideas now.
Thanks,
Rikki.

Sorry, I haven't followed this very closely. Appopogize if stating the obvious.
Last I new about this was that, when you install reaper, you first needed to run reaper by itself, with outt installing ReAccess. That first run of Reaper did some further setup activities, and got things ready.
Then, you close reaper. Then, you should be ready to install ReAccess.
Maybe you should just uninstall everything, and run that sequence.

Just some further information here. When I go to install Reaper, in the components, I am unable to check the “required files” component. I suspect this might have something to do with the scripts refusing to install, but I’m just guessing. Is there a way around this issue in the Reaper installation process? Or is this checkbox not being checked relevant at all? Just a reminder that I’m using NVDA. Perhaps it’s an accessibility issue with that particular check box on second thoughts, but again I’m not sure.
Thanks,
Rikki.

Hi all,
I only found out about reaper and its accessibility yesterday, so please forgive me for revisiting a topic which I know has been covered following my web searches to find an answer. I’m getting this same prompt that others have mentioned when I attempt to install the reaaccess scripts that some components can not be found. I did run Reaper and then exit, both as suggested by the prompt and by another list member, but still no joy! Can someone tell me how to resolve this please? I’m running Windows 7 32 bit.
Thanks,
Rikki.
