Question:

Where are firmware files stored in Audio Architect?  

Answer:

Firmware Files Location:

The firmware files are stored in a subdirectory of Audio Architect, the FirmwareUpdates folder. 

This folder is located at C:\Program Files\Audio Architect<version number>\FirmwareUpdates\.
For example, "C:\Program Files\Harman Pro\Audio Architect 2.55\FirmwareUpdates". 

When Audio Architect opens, it creates an unzipped folder of the firmware in C:\ProgramData\HPRO\Audio Architect\<version number>\FirmwareUpdates\. 
For example, "C:\ProgramData\HPRO\Audio Architect\2.55.3.6\FirmwareUpdates".  

Manually Adding a Firmware File to Audio Architect:

To manually add a firmware file, you will likely need administrator rights on your computer. 

• Close Audio Architect
• Copy the firmware file to the desired Audio Architect FirmwareUpdates folder.
  For example copy DCiG10365.bnd to "C:\Program Files\Harman Pro\Audio Architect 2.55\FirmwareUpdates".
• Restart Audio Architect. 

Manually Removing a Firmware File From Audio Architect:

To manually remove a firmware file, you will likely need administrator rights on your computer. 

• Close Audio Architect
• Delete the firmware file from the desired Audio Architect FirmwareUpdates folder.
  For example, delete DCiG10365.bnd from "C:\Program Files\Harman Pro\Audio Architect 2.55\FirmwareUpdates".
• Delete the firmware's folder from the matching ProgramData directory. 
  For example, delete the folder DCIG10365.bnd$ from "C:\Program Files\Harman Pro\Audio Architect 2.55\FirmwareUpdates". 
  If you do not delete this folder, Audio Architect will use its files to add this build of the firmware back into the corresponding Program Files directory. 
• Restart Audio Architect.
