Using the download assistant (without aria2), I downloaded it in 1-2 hours.
The SB server could be really busy now thoughā¦
I find it really frustrating that something as basic as Win7 support isnāt standard, considering itās still so widely used. I was going to buy Halion 6 this evening but this has put me off. Stupid on the part of Steinberg and theyāve created an issue when there really shouldnāt have been one!!
Has anyone installed on windows 7? I do not know whether to buy the upgradeā¦
yep, and it is working
To roel.
Could you please give some more details
about you win7!.
Servicepack 2?!.
Allso, if you have time, could you please
try out wavetable, sampling, sound editting,
just a tiny bit, just to see if Halion 6 work
properly under windows 7!.
Does anyone in this forum, have time to
try Halion 6 with windows 7 64bit ?.
Please give feedback on Halion 6 / win7!.
It would be very stressfull to buy Halion 6,
to find out after Halion 6 dosent work with
win7.
I just want to be 100% secure, that Halion
6 does actually work with win7.
I have a day off today to play with Halion. 
But that manual is 550+ pages so it is going to take some time to byte trough all of it.
As far as functionality matters: Yes, the entire peace of software is working in Win 7 it seems at first sight . The only thing i encountered, which is not something essential, is that UAC in Win 7 with restricted (guest) accounts seems to have trouble to recognize the new Halion 6 content. Software is fine, but still to premature to define it as an issue. I will check it further today.
kind regards,
R.
You dont litterly have to go through every thing, just try cover most in general most
important aspect of Halion 6, or maybe just a bit.
Halion 6 properly works perfect in admin mode, i think ?.
Please dont push you self to hard, we dont want you to crawl on the floor,
After trying every bit of Halion 6 
Why dosenāt Steiny comes forward with a clear message saying āyes, Halion 6, actually works with win7ā.
Thanks roel
I have asked that question of Steinberg but, so far, no response.
Because it doesnāt work for everyone.
No problem,
Just finished my breakfast, now iām going to light up the fireplace, and then enjoy my day off with a working halion (in win 7) 
life can be good sometimes
kind regards,
R.
That very anoying, that Steinberg dosenāt come
straightforward with a clear message.
But it really dosent matter, i mean, i could
buy Halion 6 now or later, then flash my bios
for the sake of compatible of win10!.
Later on i could buy win10 pro oem!.
Only time can tell if Halion 6 is compatible
with win7 pro!.
We will have a look at it and then decide in the next week if W7 will be supported or not. HALion 6 has not been tested on Windows 7 systems yet. That is the official statement.
Unofficially, if you have all the latest updates for Windows 7 installed, the chances are high that HALion 6 will run perfectly fine on your system. But, for now, I cannot recommend to use HALion 6 on W7 since it hasnāt been tested.
Thank you very much Matthias for the answer.
Thank for that Matthias - it probably explains why it doesnāt work for me as I have switched all updates off. Iām running W7-64bit with SP1 (no updates). What specific update files are required from microsoft? - I donāt want to up date everything.
The critical issue might be the Direct2D update. So you should properly try this one:
Thanks Matthias - Iāll try it now.
Really hope this support continues
To marshallsplace.
Maybe you should considering installing Servicepack 2 for Windows 7!.
I look forward to hear how it goes with installing Direct2D update on your computer!.
It works
Totally thanks for the W7-64bit support!
To marshallsplace.
Great!
To everyone:
I canāt try out the trial of Halion 6, set if
i mess up my Steinberg usb Elicenser which
contains Halion 5 full license, i am afraid
to install just a trial license demo on
my usb Elicenser.
Iām gonna buy my Halion 6 upgrade in Marts!.
In meantime, i will follow Steinberg response etc,
about win7 / Halion 6 over the next couple of weeks!.
