Update to 6.1

Dorico
1

Yes, this has been addressed in a previous post someone made, but the answers were not at all clear to me. In simple English, can someone tell me how to solve this problem:

I updated 6 via the installer. Now when I open Dorico, I get this message:

‘An essential component used by Dorico for playback has not been found.

Please run the Steinberg Download Assistant and install the following:

Etude Elements’

But I cannot figure out where and how to instal Etude Elements.

You can follow these instructions literally.

  1. Run the Steinberg Download Assistant
    You will find this application on your computer.
    Make sure, your computer is connected to the internet. In the Download Assistant select Dorico 6 on the left side. On the right side you will see all the elements belonging to Dorico 6. You will also see Etude Elements.
  2. Click on “Install” and Etude Elements will download and install automatically. You will see success, once it turns green.

I think that before running SDA you first have to run the Steinberg Activation Manager and then hold down Shift while clicking on the refresh button in the upper right.

This refreshes your license details and authorizes Etude Elements.

Thank you for the simplicity. I actually had done all that but couldn’t find where to get Etude. I finally found it, then still had the same problem.

I eventually got it to work. I think, though I had downloaded Etude, I might have forgotten to actually run it. I think I’ve finally got things up and running.

As there is no refresh option in the upper right but it says I’m activated, I think/hope I’ve got things going now. Thank you.

(The refresh button is in the Steinberg Activation Manager, not the Steinberg Download Assistant.)
