This patch will update Band-in-a-Box 2015 to Build 411 from any previous 2015 build. The update must be installed into your existing Band-in-a-Box 2015 folder.
The patch installs many RealTracks updates; make sure to select the correct RealTracks and Drums folders so those files can be updated.

Hi Andrew: I was using the new update feature in BIAB and clicked on Download.
However I couldn't see where it was downloading to (I checked all the usual spots). And I then wondered if it was going to update automatically or if I had to do the update myself but ... where was it downloading to?
I decided to download it the old fashion way.
Hope I make sense (and clear enough). Thanks and cheers.
I also tried updating within BIAB2015 although it said to exit the program before updating (why offer that option then??). However, once the update dialog is open you cannot exit the program so it's a bit catch 22. Regardless I selected the option to download and then install it within BIAB. It downloaded ok but on install exited BIAB and nothing happened.
Fortunately I found where the downloaded update was within the bb folder and ran it manually and it all updated just fine.
Not a big deal really but just thought I would let you know.
Thanks
BIAB 2022 UltraPAK, CbB, Studio One 5 Pro, Fender USA Tele, Harley Benton Fusion & others.
As this is about the update (411), thought I'd report a bit of a bug with Bonus Rockabilly sw [6]. See screenshots (3). PS: many thanks for the quick update.

Receder, the installer always tells you to exit the BIAB Server. That's different from the program itself. It's the little "note" icon in the lower right. Is that possibly the message you saw?

The download of Build 411 from within BIAB is going really sloooow. Normally downloading 461MB would take 10 or 15 minutes, but this has been going on for over an hour and it's only 45% done. Is this because I'm doing the download from within BIAB, or is the server slow? Any suggestions to speed this up.
Re the slow download issue from within Biab, I saw the same thing. After about 20 minutes it was at 16%. I stopped the download, went here and downloaded it and it took the usual 3-4 minutes. Why the difference? It sure seems like there's something in the update function inside Biab that's slowing it way down.
I know, Biab thinks it's a new song with 47 RT's and that's how long it takes to generate...
Typical with gaming platform updates, when a new patch comes out, everyone is trying to download at the same time. The servers can only handle so many downloads at a time. After all, the patch was just announced. Wait another week and the traffic will be much lower, or download now and let it go slow.
Steve, you're just skimming I guess and not actually reading what we wrote. We all specifically said we stopped the download from within Biab, went to PG's website (as in here} and downloaded it in just a few minutes. Should be the same server doncha think? Now I suppose it's possible it's simply coincidence that all the huge crowds of folks trying to download this update suddenly went away at precisely the same time we downloaded it directly from here?
Sorry for the misunderstanding Bob. Maybe an issue with updating from within the app then? I've always downloaded directly from the website and not had problems that way. Whenever I read on the forums an update is available, I just have the reflex to hit that "Support" button at the top of this page and download there.
Maybe there's an issue within the app that they haven't been able to fix yet.
Thanks, can we get the Piano_Electric_HeldChords 060 pn44##.wma's as wav's Audiophile extra download. Also Drums JazzWaltzLewis^, NewOrleansMardiGras16ths^, NewOrleansShuffle^
RT221 not right. Shots / Holds dont work. ALso - FIDDLE is put in DRUMS position so guess what will happen when you execute an X...? Right - the fiddle will keep right on playimg. Put it in Melody or Soloist?

I had the same problem, exited out and downloaded it directly and it was fast. Seems to have worked fine.
Doh, didn't know it was available on PG site or I'd have done that. In the end it took 7 hours to download, and about 15 seconds to install. I get nervous when I see something as simple as a download handled so badly within a program, makes me wonder what else is badly handled.
