[Resolved]Halion 5 content all gone

i question this too… i prefer to have all my samples and libraries in a separate HD/Partition other than C:, i can’t see or i dont know how to do it with steinbergs stuff that comes with cubase installation and H5 content !
is there a way doing so ?
Thanks in advance.

Just to be clear, you can have a separate drive for the content. The files being affected here are just a few image files that are used to view the filter headers. None of the content is affected by this. All of my content is on a separate drive d:\steinberg.…

how to reference HSSE GASE H5 to other location ? its in the vsti gui somewhere or they reference automatically ?

Some of them let you choose where to install, others I manually moved and symlinked.

silly me i just checked it and my H5 content is already in separate HD :unamused:

i want to move HSSE GA1 GASE content…

others I manually moved and symlinked

what is symlink, and how to do it ?

Play with it with some dummy directories until you understand how the directories are being linked.

Somehow, my content icons got messed up also. Not sure how but I was not seeing any at first, then after fiddling around with reinstalling Absolute content installers, Halion installers, and Cubase installer, deleting preference folders for Halion, Halion SOnic, Cubase, etc., still will little luck (I was able to get the HSSE Cubase factory content icons to show up) I found this thread. It wasn’t very helpful at first because when I went to the folders described, I DID NOT HAVE any icons in the LibraryInfo folders (not sure why). But then after some more fiddling and reinstalling (paying close attention to the “intall for all users…” options, etc., finally then icons all showed up in my …Users… LibraryInfo folder and after I copied them to the Program Data…LibraryInfo folder everything is back to normal.

This is probably the most, or one of the most, annoying and elusive problems I have encountered with my Steinberg collection of products to date. I spent about 12 hours trying to fix it due to the length of time reinstalling different products took (most of the time with no success).

I really hope H6 and HS3 will be better at preventing this kind of problem and/or making it easier to resolve.
