garbanzo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I have just downloaded the updater and see that it is a dmg file. On my W10 machine I am asked with what program do I want to open the file. What is my answer to that? I realise that I have been posed before this question before and cant quite remember hw I solved it. What do you more experienced users, and especially those with better memory's than mine do? Thanks in advance garbanzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsieurkozo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 You took the wrong file garbanzo. DMG are for MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance garbanzo Hi, It appears that you have inadvertently managed to download the Mac Version of the firmware. When you are on the Line 6 Download page, from the “All Software” tab select “HX Edit”, then under the third grey coloured tab labelled “All OS” select “Windows 10” from the drop down menu. This will take you to the correct page to download the Updater required. Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd2rk Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If you're updating a Helix (vs a G10) download and install the HX Edit file, NOT the Updater. That file will install the Updater and all drivers. If you try to update without installing HX Edit, you might have problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
