Running Yosemite or above and installing an old version of Cubase? Getting the error message Oh, what’s that? You have an old Cubase version and it won’t install on your fancy new OS or machine? Well, there’s only one (cheap and easy) way around that. And why not! I looks good, feels good, and everyone is doing it these days! What could go wrong? So, you want to be down with the times, hip with the kids, keep your ear to the ground. I suggest you try to use that, even if “Installer Tools” in general might be the most annoying thing you can have on your computer after virus-inducing toolbars. I respect that many systems are used for a great deal more than just music.Important: A few month after this post came up, Steinberg put out a tool called “Steinberg Application Installer Tool” that should solve the problem this post addresses. There’s nothing else installed on them except that which is required to run the audio apps. My systems are used in a commercial environment so I’m probs a little OTT when it comes to keeping systems as clean as possible. Then run it again from the updates section in settings. If you do try to do a Windows update and it fails, just check back again in services and if still disabled, set it to manual and press start. This does not permanently disable windows updates, it will reinstate itself automatically according to the policy. Connect to the internet and go ahead and do what you need to do online and when done close the services windows. Then in the service type select disabled. If the service status is showing as started, press stop. In services, scroll down to ‘Windows Update’ and double click to open options. To do this goto control panel, administrative tools, services. When you do need to go online, as no matter what you do, windows updates will reinstate itself, you’ll need to disable updates manually, and do this each time you want to connect to the internet. Get windows up to date, install Cubase, latest version and plugs etc and once you’ve tested everything and it’s all good, do a full system backup using a free tool like easus or similar and then take your system offline. Having been down this road some time ago, if I were you, I’d do a fresh install. I do hope you can find a simple solution. You could end up trouble shooting existing problems forever as it can sometimes be impossible to pin things down.
