[RWP] reaaccess won't install despite doing the obvious

Are you running Jaws or Window-Eyes?
So why not install the 64 bit version of Reaper onto a 64 bit machine;
open and close it at least once; then install ReaAccess?
Would you get the same issues then?
More and more I find these issues are according to the hardware in the
computer, what CPU combo with which motherboard and; especially for
screenreaders; which video graphics chipset is used.
Before I got my I7 on an MCI board ; I tried an AMD Phenom on another
model of MCI board, and it was very jittery, not at all stable on Win7
64 with Window-Eyes.
I'm typing now on another AMD Phenom, on a Alvarex FoxCon motherboard,
also on same Win7 64 and Window-Eyes, and it's very steady and
dependable, and very fast.
My own theory is that NVidia drivers are not well written, so I avoid
NVidia N"Force video chipsets now.
This motherboard has AMD graphics, which work perfectly with the AMD CPU
to make it very stable.
I'm looking for another of this same model, the Hewlett Packard P6719C,
just because I don't need to gamble on its stability.
Anyway, just because you got away with 32 bit Reaper on many 64 bit
systems, doesn't mean all hardware combos will work with it.
Also, on my I7 with MCI board; although it is very stable running; I
could not get 64 bit Reaper to run simultaneously with ReaAccess when
running Window-Eyes 7.5.2.
They installed fine, but when I attempted to open Reaper it locked up.
If I removed ReaAccess, then I could run Reaper just fine, only without
all the great benefits of ReaAccess.
So, I decided not to butt my head against the brick wall of
inaccessibility, I uninstalled Win7 64 from the I7 machine and now run
XP Pro 32 on any 32 bit version of Reaper.
As far as I can tell, except for giving up running more than 4gbs of
Ram, I can record in Reaper as well as one can do with 64 bit.
Reaper is so efficient you can run many tracks, soft synths and effects
on 4 gigs of ram, no crackling or dropout issues.
Just my 2 cents worth,

I get the error message that says that some components can't be found, and the installer closes. This would normally mean that I hadn't ran or initially configured reaper.
