Already downloaded the Windows installer? Start with step 2.

Download from your account

In your Patch DNA account, open My products, select The House and download the Windows installer. If you have already downloaded it, continue to step 2.

Run the installer

Close your DAW and Patch DNA. Double-click the downloaded installer, then review and approve the standard Windows permission prompt. Follow the setup instructions.

This Windows installer is not code-signed. Windows may show an “Unknown publisher” or SmartScreen warning. Read the security notes before you run it.

Open The House

Open the standalone app or load The House VST3 in your DAW. If the plug-in is not listed, rescan VST3 plug-ins in your DAW.

Activate and create

Stay online for activation. Copy the full key for The House from your Patch DNA account, enter it in the app and choose Activate. Once activation completes, you’re ready to create.

Verify your downloaded file

The filename and SHA256 below identify this Windows installer. Compare the hash before running a file you are unsure about. A matching hash confirms the published bytes; it is not a code-signing certificate.

Filename

Optional PowerShell check

Optional: open PowerShell in the folder containing the downloaded installer, then run this read-only command to calculate its SHA256. Compare every character with the value above.

Windows security notes
  • Download only from your Patch DNA account or a link supplied directly by Patch DNA Support.
  • An unsigned installer can trigger a warning. Check the source, filename and SHA256 before deciding to continue. If anything does not match or you are unsure, stop and contact Support.
  • If the source is official, the SHA256 matches and Windows offers the choice, use More info → Run anyway, then review the permission request. If Windows or an organisation policy blocks the file without that option, contact Support; do not bypass the policy.
  • Keep Windows security enabled. Do not change registry values, disable antivirus or change folder permissions to make setup continue.
  • Only if Patch DNA shows PD-WIN-001: follow that message to turn on User Account Control, then restart Windows. For other permission errors, contact Support.
