That's good to know. I just install all the components without question so I've never encountered this problem.

It was not obvious to me that you had to install sound essentials in order to use Sibelius playback configurations. In fact you really do have to install it. If you don't, Sibelius doesn't create any configuration file at all, not even a default one, which means that you cannot create and save yours. So, even if you don't want to use it, you have to install sans essentials. Maybe it's worth adding this to sibelius access manual no?
