ZincT 2,108 Posted December 10, 2020 Thanks Larry. The update actually worked from within BLA for me this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent4th 38 Posted December 10, 2020 Can't get the BLA to update. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the BLA shows an update available but it disappears when I hit the update button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleStudios 26 Posted December 10, 2020 Yeah same. Then again, it's never worked properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 2,730 Posted December 10, 2020 Just tried the update. Worked OK. Looks like they reworked the loop browser. Fortunately, BA is no longer needed once CbB is installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleStudios 26 Posted December 10, 2020 Had to uninstall via the control panel. Did the old shutdown and restart. Reinstalled and presto! It worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TracingArcs 199 Posted December 10, 2020 Had the usual dance of "nuffin appenning" when trying to update. Resulting in the almost mandatory uninstall of BLA and d/load and install of a new one.😡 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Arwood 151 Posted December 10, 2020 Vanished after clicking update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
User 905133 513 Posted December 10, 2020 I had previously uninstalled Bandlab Assistant since I no longer needed it. Downloading the current version from scratch worked for me. The toughest part was trying to find where I had my ID and password! As noted, the loops browser has been reworked. No more complicated non-scrolling filter! 🙂 Thanks for the heads up.

As far as I know this is only true for "online" computers, i.e. if you have to reactivate an offline install, then you still need BA! 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hillmy 221 Posted December 10, 2020 It worked for me. I don't know if some of you that have a problem waited for it to update. It doesn't show a status bar of it downloading the update. If you have fast internet then the wait will be seconds. But if you have slow internet, you will wait and think nothing is happening. For me, all I had to do was wait almost a minute and it downloaded and installed automatically (it does show install progress though). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sent4th 38 Posted December 11, 2020 Problem solved for me. I went to Cakewalk help center site and followed the following instructions: If you see an update error or experience any difficulty while attempting to update BandLab Assistant, you may want to remove your existing version and reinstall the latest version. 1. Use the Add/Remove Programs feature from Windows to locate and remove your existing version of BandLab Assistant. 2. Download and install the latest version of BandLab Assistant from the following link: https://www.bandlab.com/download/assistant/windows Now my Bandlab is updated to 6.4.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fwrend 213 Posted December 11, 2020 I always have to download the assistant manually at work. Hopefully, my home internet will improve drastically soon as they lay fiber optic around our little lake! Download Page Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pwalpwal 1,095 Posted December 11, 2020 does it depend on having a certain version of chrome installed maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
