Hello Danny, Shortcuts are just links to all the program files via the executable. So if you have successfully installed in program files x86 reaper then navigate to that folder and find the executable. Not many programs run from an isolated .exe file. Reaper is very versatile you can even use portable installs.. In other words, it is not a program that throws it’s files in many different folders all over the HD.
Have you tried installing the OSARA package? Gena > On 26 Sep 2019, at 14:55, Danny Miles <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Georgina.
