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.
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

- 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.
