Yes, I ran into this. It’s not too difficult to solve. My suggestion:

- (perhaps re-perform the clean install of _RW 7_, having previously deleted all traces except the download .dmg of RW itself and your RW 6 Addons - as [here](http://www.reggieashworth.com/appdelete).)
- let the new install copy those Addons to where it wants
- take control and use the [Preference that lets you manage Addons yourself](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/user-selectable-addons-folder-rw-7-any-advice-please/7931)
- finally, when you’ve restarted _RW 7_ and tested that everything is working properly, delete (or perhaps more wisely zip and ‘hide’) any Addons that _RW 7_ [puts in other folders itself](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/which-is-the-addons-default-directory-rw-7-0-2/8003/4).

It’s [looking](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/installing-snapform2-stack-fails-to-install-am-on-rw7/8029/8) more and more as though some difficulties reported here are due to previous installations. Strongly suggest deleting or archiving everything - but, again, once you’re satisfied that _RW 7_ is working perfectly.
