  • How can I update my VI-ensemble and server software on windows?

    I just downloaded and installed the in vienna instruments & vienna ensemble software 5.3 (Windows) build 12844 to my windows 7 home premium pc. 

    But when I open the software my pc opens an older version (not version 5.3.13045, but version 4.1.12844, when I click on vienna ensemble 64-bit or version 5.1.11262, when I click on vienna ensemble pro server (64 bit)). On my mac everything is fine, but now I can´t use my pc as slave anymore due to different software versions. 

    What do I need to download?

    Do I need to delete anything, before installing the new version?

    What do I need to open after installing?

    Thanks for helping!


  • You don't need to delete anything first,  just install the update, you then shouldn't have any older versions on your system.

    Note that VE Pro is 13045 but VI pro is 12844, make sure you are installing the new version in the same directory that the older version was at.


  • Thanks for that info. Did not work for me, but now I just deleted and reinstalled everything without problems.
