Did you try running the installer again and choose 32bit? It may work like the manual SONAR install process.
I did not. I was afraid that it might uninstall the 64-bit version. But I guess I will try that now.
On edit -- This did seem to work. I did not use the classic installer at all. I did everything from the control center. This was really strange. When I first pulled up the control center, it has red dots for Rapture Pro and for all the content items. I installed everything and selected 64-bit.
After that install completed, the content items all showed green, but Rapture Pro was still red. At that point Rapture Pro was available in 64-bit Platinum as a VST3, so I don't really understand why it still showed red. But that allowed me to run that part of the install again from the control center, this time requesting 32-bit. That completed and then everything showed green.
After that second install, Rapture Pro was available in Finale (which is 32-bit) and all the content seemed to be there. It is all working. The install just wasn't what I expected.
And now for the benefits ... Working in Finale, I am not generally trying to produce super-realistic playback. If I need to do that, then I'll take all the MIDI over to SONAR. My goal within Finale is usually to hear all the voices clearly. I used Rapture Pro to replace my normal bass guitar with a bass voice that had a bit more HF and attack to is, and that allowed me to take the bass down in the mix, making the winds easier to hear. That's a very rudimentary application of Rapture pro that is actually quite beneficial to me.
