[RWP] ReaAccess instalation error, "some components are missing"

[Kerry Hoath]

I did write an article on this I wonder if I should revive the reaper 
access Wiki and make that article available?

At the moment the article is behind our paywall for the Audio 
fundamentals course run by the Cisco academy for the Vision Impaired.

Too many people stealing our course content :(

Regards, Kerry.

To fix this problem, copy ReaAccess from your 64-bit install to the 32-bit working directory manually. The files can be found in c:\program files\reaper\plugins\

I'm not sure if it actually has to be there or not. That will cover the use of NVDA and System Access. I'm not sure about the Jaws dll needing to be there, or if Jaws can find it in a system environment variable.
