Thanks to RaymondList, your suggestion was a very good one.
My computer moved the Hauptwerk system files to "MacintoshHD/Users/Shared/RelocatedItems/Security."
I moved it from there to Applications (MacintoshHD/Applications), and deleted the old folder.
I just searched for "FileLocations.FileLocations_Hauptwerk_xml" in Spotlight search (default Command-Space), and that file was the third to come up. Be careful you don't hit spacebar after typing in the text, since it will automatically open the first file to come up.
After I selected "FileLocations.FileLocations_Hauptwerk_xml" On the dialog that came up, I clicked on "choose application," then selected "Text Edit." Then I made the following changes:
<RootFolder_HauptwerkUserData>/Hauptwerk/HauptwerkUserData</RootFolder_HauptwerkUserData>
Changed to:
<RootFolder_HauptwerkUserData>/Applications/Hauptwerk/HauptwerkUserData</RootFolder_HauptwerkUserData>
<RootFolder_HauptwerkSampleSetsAndComponents>/Hauptwerk/HauptwerkSampleSetsAndComponents</RootFolder_HauptwerkSampleSetsAndComponents>
Changed to:
<RootFolder_HauptwerkSampleSetsAndComponents>/Applications/Hauptwerk/HauptwerkSampleSetsAndComponents</RootFolder_HauptwerkSampleSetsAndComponents>
<RootFolder_HauptwerkInternalWorkingFiles>/Hauptwerk/HauptwerkInternalWorkingFiles</RootFolder_HauptwerkInternalWorkingFiles>
Changed to:
<RootFolder_HauptwerkInternalWorkingFiles>/Applications/Hauptwerk/HauptwerkInternalWorkingFiles</RootFolder_HauptwerkInternalWorkingFiles>
As it says in the file, make sure you don't accidentally delete or change anything else in the file!
That worked like a charm for me. As I recall, reinstalling Hauptwerk worked before, but this method is easier. I believe in the past I had to reinstall all my organs when I reinstalled Hauptwerk. This time, no organs needed to be reinstalled.
I should also mention that I had a problem getting my USB key to work. The download link on the Hauptwerk website for the USB key driver is an old version that doesn't work in Catalina. As per another forum topic, I went to this website: "https://sentinelcustomer.gemalto.com/sentineldownloads/" And downloaded the 7.100 version Mac driver. After rebooting the computer, Hauptwerk worked perfectly.
