Download Assistant - how to change the install location?
I am not talknig here about the download location, but the installation directory of files. For me, they are all going to the wrong place.
Also I have a of SMT files - example SMT_44_Analogue Wonder, which I don’t know how to move. The Library app does not mention them. They are VST sound archives. I have about 40 of them not sure how to move them and get the relevent VST to recognise them.
Thank you all

Try double clicking on one of the files, and all of them in the folder will be registered in the Library Manager
Not sure what you mean Steve, but thank you. If your talking about the SMT files they all give the same message when double clicked.
That means they are registered, and you can see the content in the Mediabay.
I presume you are looking in the WIN64 folder, which contains the files when they are downloaded. You can delete those files if you want to save space.
Do you see Analogue Wonder in the Library Manager under Cubase/Nuendo? There, you can see the filepath where the content is saved
Thank you for your troubles in replying. I am tidying up a Computer. It has 8tb over 8-10 Hardrives. Cubase was a mess.
These files are in two wrong locations. They are not mentioned in the Library Manager so cannot be moved by it.
If i move them without telling Cubase then it is going to lead to issues. Various VST might not know they are even missing.

And one file in each of these folders:
There is no point in the user moving any SMT files. The system doesn’t operate in that old school sense. The files are managed entirely automatically, and this works very well.
Hm… Are you saying Cubase does see them currently?
Please. show screenshots of what you are see in the Mediabay, or Library Manager, and not Windows Explorer.
I never install from the download assistant just download.
Once downloaded I then install from the download files (which I delete once installed)
If you double click on the downloaded installers the library manger will open as well as a location box.
One option in the box ..install in the default location. You also have the option of setting this default location (you only need to do this once)
I have a folder I’ve named “Cubase content” on my large D drive. Every downloaded instrument, grove agent or Halion library is in this folder.. I’ve never had a problem and everything is nice and tidy.
Anything that goes wrong can be moved using the library manger.
But he’s saying
so I asked
Yeah, it makes no difference how you get them on the computer, once there simply doubl-clicking registers them. Best system around.
Steve I’m not saying right way wrong way.
I’m trying to help by telling him how I do it (clear instructions) and by doing it this way for me I’ve never had a problem, It’s very easy and I know exactly where all my Cubase content is.
If people want to go a different way no problem.
I didn’t mean to come off as critical of your post. I actually meant that downloading from the web is exactly equal to using the the SDA, of for that matter any other way to get the files onto the machine
