HALion SE Crashes Elements 10.5.20

If HALion SE is included with Cubase Elements, why won’t my updated elements program run? The program hangs at initializing HALion SE, then quits. In the crashdumps folder I find I find the file “Cubase LA AI Elements 10.5” which contains the following:

===================================================================
Cubase LE AI Elements 10.5.exe Version 10.5.20 Build 179 - 12.7.2020 20:01

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION

Over and over and over again!

This is the second time I’ve tried installing the update. Looks like Steinberg has done nothing to fix the problem.

Anyone find a work around? (I’m going back to 10.5.anything before 10.5.20).
