I bought Dorico 6 and in the process (I believe) I updated Halion. But now Halion doesn’t work anymore like I know it. I only get the following window:
And I used to get something like this:
Can you please help?

That looks like a Cubase window?
Like the generic editor?
What happens if you apply the basic Halion Sonic playback template to a Dorico project? Can you post a screenshot of Play mode left zone, please?
Cheers,
Benji
And the VST and MIDI tab?
And when you hit “e”?
Thank you so much, Benji, for helping me!
Sorry, I don’t know what you mean by the basic Halion Sonic playback template! I now put it on ‘HALion Sonic Selection’ (without Olympus or Sketch or anything). But that doesn’t help.
Hitting ‘e’ does nothing.
The strange this is: playback is good. I only have no way now to change the instrument that is used for playing!
In the play menu on top there is an item Playback templates.
Click that and apply the simplest factory playback template, which will reset all instruments to their default values and will also load the correct expression maps.
This is on Windows, right?
B.
I did choose the simplest Playback Template. That didn’t help.
This is Windows, indeed.
I opened the standalone version of HALion. And that showed a different window than expected as well:
Hi @tijs , you also have Cubase or Nuendo? Because unlike Dorico there you have the option to switch to the generic editor window that you see. So open Cubase (or Nuendo) and open HALion Sonic and click the little arrow shown in the picture below
Hi Elf! Thank you for trying to help me out!
No, I don’t have Cubase or Nuendo!
If I open the drop down list you showed, mine looks like this:

Hmm. At this point, I’d uninstall Halion Sonic 7 completely and reinstall from the download manager… Mind doing that? 
When you hit “About Halion Sonic”, what does it say?
I’d uninstall it from the Windows Control Panel:
And then re-install from the Steinberg Download Manager…
Yeah! That did the trick. I already reinstalled Halion via the Steinberg Download Manager. But I did nog uninstall it through Windows Control Panel. Now I’ve got it working again.
Benji and Ulf, thank you so much for thinking along. I was getting a little anxious!

Super that you’re back up and running!
And: Not wanting to be petty, but could you credit the person that contributed most to the solution with the “Solution” checkbox? 
Thx!
Sorry! I checked my own message with ‘Solution’.
