symptom: no presets appearing after successful install.
while the admin install didn't make a difference, your advice to try that made me look for a second Aalto directory for the admin account in addition to my user account.
And there they are!
So under windows, installing Aalto (no matter whether as user or as admin) makes both an
admin/AppData/Roaming/Madrona Labs/Aalto
and an
user/AppData/Roaming/Madrona Labs/Aalto
directory, with the factory presets situated only in the admin one.
Now that I know that I just copied the whole bunch into the user directory.
