Possible Fix for Steinberg Download Assistant

Here is a translation from an approach to adress the latest issues with the SDA from the German forum. The solution was provided by the German Steinberg support and it seems to work so far.

  1. Preparation: Make sure the latest Download Assistant (version 1.36.4) is installed
    Steinberg Download Assistant | Steinberg

  2. Download and unpack this application.properties file from Steinberg
    application.zip (263 Bytes)

  3. Replace the old properties.application file in the SDA with the file above here:

C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\steinberg-download-assistant

Another way to get there on Windows: press the Windows Key + R, insert %appdata%/steinberg-download-assistant and press return.

  1. Launch the SDA. That’s it.

For those who are interested, here is the original post from the German forum and another one with some technical background

EDIT: this is the correct link to the original post, posted the second one twice…

Hope this helps!
