Hi @cparmerlee ,
what if you do in the Command Prompt just
dir /S /Q /N C:\ProgramData\Steinberg\Content
Does that still say that it can’t find the path?
Furthermore, please launch Dorico and from the menu do Help > Create Diagnostic Report. The corresponding zip file please post here. Thanks
Thanks the “refresh” button didn’t work but this did.
That command works. Here is the result:
DIR results.zip (7.5 KB)
Dorico Diagnostics.zip (1.9 MB)
Thank you.
Hi @cparmerlee , and what if you follow the advice I gave in this posting
The command seemed to process correctly.

However, after completing that command, I launched Dorico, received no warnings. I created an empty score, then added a piano to the score. That player got Halion Sonic, When I go into PLAY mode and try to add a VST, the only options under Steinberg→Synth are DoricoBeep, Halion Sonic, Padshop, and Retrologue.
That’s correct, because Etude Elements is just a sound library. So you load the sounds of that library into HALion Sonic in order to play them. In the HALion window on the right you see the big icons for the sound libraries, there is one also for Etude Elements. YOu click on that icon and you get the list of available sounds. Double click on one of them and it will load into the currently selected slot in HALion Sonic.
Okay?
Ahhh. Yes, it is all working. It was my misunderstanding. Sorry for the “wild goose chase”. I did get the warning when I first loaded Dorico 6.1, but I guess that problem was actually corrected with one of the first actions I took, but I was just looking in the wrong place. Thank you for your patience.
Etudes will not show up in the Activation Manager; that is by design.
Etudes will not show up as a separate download in the Steiberg Download Assistant; that is by design.
If one opens the Steinberg Library Manager, Etudes will show up if it has been loaded successfully. (The Steinberg Library Manager is not the manager internal to Dorico; it is an external program.)
It will also appear as an icon with other sound collections in the right hand panel of the HALion Sonic assignment screen if it has loaded properly.
Thanks @Derrek , for this explanation (which I finally read after multiple attempts). After installing twice, and running through Activation Manager twice, with the Shift+Refresh (twice), and rebooting (twice), Etudes was not showing up in the Activation Manager… but was available in Halion when I ran Dorico. Perhaps there should be a note somewhere in Daniel’s pinned instructions regarding this. I kept expecting it would show up in the license activations - and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t. Perhaps your comment here could be included with Daniel’s instructions to clarify. Thanks for doing that here.
