SWS Extension issue

Hello, I have searched for a few hours now, but really can't find a solution to this issue. I'm very new to Reaper and DAWs, but I'm generally good at picking up software. I downloaded the SWS Extension and put the reaper_sws.dll file into my Plugins folder. The problem is that if I boot up Reaper, there is no Extension menu. That's my issue. I have tried both the 64bit and 32bit Windows versions and rebooted my computer many times and I hid the .ini files in the Reaper folder (which was a solution from an old thread), but I still have no luck. I have the newest versions of both Reaper and SWS. Any idea what is wrong? Please let me know!

They will be located in the Actions list. Do a search in the Actions list for SWS.

I am running Windows 7 on a quad core. I downloaded both the 64bit and 32bit exe files from the SWS site and extracted the .dll into my Plugins folder (not the Plugins folder that the .exe suggests). If I check that folder, reaper_sws.dll is indeed in there, but with or without a reboot, it seems to have no effect on/in Reaper. I'd really like to get it going, because I've heard it adds a bunch of functionality to Reaper. I went into the Actions List and typed 'sws', and there are no returns from the search. Sorry to be a bother, but I'd really like to get it working... Everything went (reasonably) smooth up until now. Is there something that might be conflicting with it? Should I try making a dummy plugins folder somewhere else, put just the .dll in there, set it as my plugins folder in Reaper, and see what happens? I imagine I'd get the same result. EDIT: I went ahead and did that, and indeed, no change.

The plugins must go into the folder (Program Files/REAPER/Plugins/) where there are also dlls called reaper_wave.dll, reaper_midi.dll etc, you can't have a self chosen path for them. (ie, they are not like VST plugins for which you can choose custom paths where they will be located)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Problem solved. I really appreciate your help.
