most of as did⌠but who cares⌠Steinberg certenly donâtâŚ
Basically, the update needs to see the original 8.5 MSI file to know that it can up date. Stupid - but easy to fix:
Once youâve done this, just save your 8.5 MSI file somewhere out of the way - like on another drive, or whatever - and re-position, for updates, as needed.
Of course thanx for the info, and the time you took to help people, but that is not the point⌠Why should i have to do all that to run an update??? Well⌠After spending 20 hours on my studio, trying to figure out why on a 30 track project i had 5 billion crashes and unstopable HD spikes, until my client just left my studio furious, maybe i should reach for the uninstall once and for all, i have just had enoughâŚ
All that happened after you updated?
Well that happens for the past ten years i use cubase, but it used to be less often, and most of the problems were known so it was easier to find workarounds. Ever since cubase 8 it is mindblowing, i use mac and pc in my studio, 3 pcâs at home, itâs nothing to do with hardware or what you use, the amount of bugs is just unprofessional, simple as that, i was in love with this DAw, not anympore, honestly, 10 days ago, another project, same staff, hd spiking for no reason, although other project run fine, and just trying to always find solution to problems that are not supposed to be there, is just so tiring, i canât take it anymore. i am a 15 hour a day ( and i mean EVERY day ) professional, and i want fast reliable tools to earn a leaving. thats not the case for cubase anymore
I installed this by just downloading the update .exe and double clicking it⌠No errors.
Try to run the installer as administrator and turn off your antivirusâ real time scan if youâre using one.
Did try all that, placed the original msi file on hard drive, no antivirus at all on my system, still wonât installâŚ
for me also didt work I placed the Cubase85_64bit.msi on all drives and in the folder that Cubase is installed and still couldnât install the update
Could you put precise instructions how to do it, I may do something wrong.
Thanks!!!
Didnât work for me. Steinberg, please fix and re-issue this update!!!
Try installing Cubase from the full installer you just downloaded and then run the 8.5.20 update. Does that work?
So do a fresh install of 8.5? Will I lose all my saved preferences/templates/presets?
I had the same error. This is what I did to resolve it.
I am wondering for those having problems updating to 8.5.20.
My update went well and the answer to both questions above is âNoâ.
- Do any of you use registercleaners?
I think these can definitely cause (all kinds of) problems - but also (for me, since I donât use reg cleaners) the built-in Windows âDisk Clean-upâ utility with system files option seemed to cause these install errors as well (I guess it erases temp install files, which normally help Cubase updates to verify).
Still perplexed as to why only Cubase installers behave this way. Itâs a P.I.T.A., and it looks sloppy.
To those who have problems with the update, please see here: Soft-eLicenser (SeL) FAQ - Cubase - Steinberg Forums - there are various ways to solve it, you can also find older threads where the options are described in detail.
This does not happen only with Cubase, though, just google âerror code 1603â (or 1612, HRESULT-2147024770, etc.).
Still, Iâd also prefer that this doesnât happenâŚ

- Is your computer DAW only or do you run other programs as well?
- Do any of you use registercleaners?
My update went well and the answer to both questions above is âNoâ.
I had this issue but donât have a registry cleaner and the computer is only used as a Cubase DAW. I do have AVG and Adobe Acrobat on this computer which update fairly often. However the 8.5.15 loaded just fine.

So far I have encounted only one plugin that wonât unistall, Waldorfs Lector, but that is a different story. Almost every 3-d party plugin developer has its own installer. Hopefully we will see some standardization for that in the future.
Resolved my issue by doing the REPAIR as suggested by Fabio and relocating the original installer file for the repair to complete successfully. Now if Steinber could only fix the âVideo service not responsiveâ issue introduced on my system since 8.5.10.
I have the same problem. So I will wait until Steinberg has fixed it. It cannot be, that a normal update makes such problems. Really sad I am. Grrrhhhhh.
