How to use Evolution Strawberry with Music Creator 6

I am trying to test a temporary version of Evolution Strawberry with Music Creator 6, but getting nowhere.  My computer is a 2 year old Dell and I want to take Evolution Strawberry for a test drive to see if my CPU is strong enough to use that product or if I will find myself in "latency hell" and have to come up with some other solution (like maybe a new, more expensive computer). Orange Tree sent me a temporary version that works for 15 minutes at a time.  I put a copy of the Evolution Strawberry folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins and then I rescanned the VST Plugins.  But I still don't see Evolution Strawberry as an option in Music Creator 6.  My questions at this point are:

- How do I load Evolution Strawberry into Music Creator 6?  Is it a VST Plugin?  If so, why doesn't it appear in the plugins list?
- Do I have to buy some base product from Kontakt to be able to use Evolution Strawberry?  I think the promotional material says it comes with Kontakt.  Since I don't understand fully what Kontakt and Strawberry are, I am confused about what I need.
- Should I switch to Cakewalk by BandLab (which I see is free) instead of Music Creator 6?

Thanks for the reply.  I've invested more time on this today and still nothing.  I contacted Orange Tree support.  At their suggestion I installed Native Instruments Native Access and then I installed Kontakt Player 6.  I re-scanned and still nothing appears.  I installed the new Cakewalk DAW by BandLab and I looked there - nothing.  So when I saw your reply I created a new folder under the Cakewalk VST folder and copied the Kontakt.dll file there (in Music Creator 6).  I re-scanned, and still nothing.  I can't believe this is so complicated.  I'm about to give up.  This is just no fun.  Do you have any idea how I solve this problem?  I may have to just settle on using the VST instruments that come with Cakewalk and give up on Strawberry.  It looks really cool, but I'm losing faith that I can ever get it to work.

I have discovered two more things:
 
It looks like none of my soft synths are working in Cakewalk by BandLab.  I can play an audio track and I hear the sound.  I can play a MIDI keyboard connected to the computer and if I select Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth as the output I hear the notes.  But if I select Cakewalk TTS as the output or Cakewalk Sound Center I hear nothing.  So maybe my audio is not set up correctly, but I can hear the audio clip play in the audio track.
 
Also, I found how to view Kontakt libraries in Native Access and the Evolution Strawberry does not appear.  When I try to add it by browsing to the instrument file on my computer it gives me an error message that the library is not installed.  So I have contacted Orange Tree help desk with that problem. 
 
But if you have any idea why my soft synths are not working that is probably a separate problem.
