Reason needs the ReWire 2 file in order to run, but when Reason asks the system for the file, all it gets is the older version. This is how to fix it:<br \/>1. Go to the Windows\\System directory (usually C:\\Windows\\System\\). On some systems this directory shows up empty until you click the &#8216;Show files&#8217; link in the explorer. <br \/>2. Locate the files ReWire.dll and REX.dll in this directory and simply delete them. <br \/>3. Launch Reason again &#8211; now it should work! <\/p>\n<p>Please note that ReWire will still not work in Cubase 5.0 due to problems with the ReWire implementation in Cubase. Steinberg will soon release a Cubase version that should fix this problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34716],"storecat":[],"itemids":[11870],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the I have downloaded and installed the demo, but when I launch Reason I get an error message saying &#039;Can not open ReWire 2 system...&#039;.
