The component installer Hauptwerk includes a native installer which is used to install Hauptwerk sample sets, organs, temperaments and other components that are available separately from Hauptwerk itself and from third parties. The installer also has the ability to upgrade components, apply patches, and un-install components, whilst ensuring that all components are automatically installed into the correct locations on all supported operating systems and platforms, and ensuring that dependencies are satisfied. You should always use the component installer when you wish to install, upgrade or remove any Hauptwerk components provided in Hauptwerk version 2 format or above. [Hauptwerk version 1 sample sets must instead be imported, which is covered in the importing version 1 organs section.] Installing a new component Components (such as additional sample sets) are supplied in Hauptwerk component packages, which are files with a filename extension .CompPkg.Hauptwerk.rar. A package may include several components of different types. We assume that you have downloaded such a component package, or that it has been supplied to you on CD or DVD. Important: Please always use Hauptwerk's native component installer to install such packages, rather than attempting to extract or install them manually using third-party RAR extraction software. Using Hauptwerk's component installer will ensure that they are installed properly. To install the new component, select File | Install organ, sample set, temperament or impulse response (note that impulse responses are not yet supported in the current version of Hauptwerk):
Navigate to the component package and select it. After a pause, the package should be extracted and analysed by Hauptwerk's component installer, and the following screen should appear:
One item will be listed in the left-hand browse list for each component available in the package, and the right-hand pane will show its version, whether it is already installed, and the version installed if so. As with Hauptwerk's setting screens, click on the pointer/question-mark icon immediately to the left of a screen's OK button:
... then click onto the screen background or a specific setting for a detailed explanation of its function. For each item in the component list, verify or adjust the Selected installation action in the right-hand pane (the default action is always to install, upgrade or re-install a component if possible), then click OK. The component(s) should then be installed and be ready to use. If you have been supplied with several packages, for example to install a large sample set which spans several CDs, repeat the process to install each of them. Upgrading or patching a component The process is identical for upgrading/patching: select File | Install organ, sample set, temperament or impulse response:
Now navigate to the new package, it will be opened and a list of its components displayed. Where upgrading or patching is possible, the Selected installation action will include an option for it, which will be selected by default. Simply check the selected actions and then click OK to perform them. Un-installing a component To remove a component, again ensure that no sample set is loaded (Organ | Unload organ if necessary), then select File | Un-install organ, sample set, temperament or impulse response from the menu. After a brief pause the component installer screen will show a list of all components currently installed:
Simply select the component you wish to remove from the browse list, and change its Selected installation action to 'Un-install'. Repeat for all components that you no longer require, then click OK to perform the deinstallation. Please be very careful not to remove components that may be needed later. |
