Hello
So I bought the UR22mkII a while back, since my old M-Audio Firewire card was, well, Firewire, and I needed something I could use. Also, it came with Cubase AI, so I thought that was a nice deal.
Scroll forward… Holy moly, it’s been three years I just went through all of this activation thingie with codes and serial numbers, and I installed the Steinberg Download Assistant as instructed.
Okay. So, first thing I went looking for was the settings, because my setup is that I have a small OS partition (30 GB) and a large data partition. I put only the absolutely necessary files on the OS drive, because I can then quickly do an image of that partition for backup and restore purposes. All secondary software goes on the data partition, drive D:. The Download Assistant had already installed on the C: drive without asking me, which is in itself a bit of a problem, and that would probably actually be my first question: How do I change the install location for the Steinberg Download Assistant?
Second question is how do I change the install location of downloaded software? Because I couldn’t see anywhere in settings to do this, so I went to google, and that gave me the impression that you would actually be given a chance before the installation started to select where the product would be installed. This didn’t happen, and again, Cubase AI just installed to drive C:
Third question is how do I get the software to actually create a link in the start menu? Cubase installed okay, it seems - again no interaction was offered, but no errors were produced either, and it did install to the drive and I can manually navigate to the installation folder and launch the exe, but this feels very early-90s to me, so I’m hoping this isn’t how Steinberg software is supposed to work these days?
The activation etc. worked fine as well, and Cubase itself also launches and runs fine, it seems. Just these three problems.
Am I just extremely unlucky, or is this actually how Steinberg does this?
Thank you!
