Cubase Essential 5.1.1 Update

This patch updates any installed Cubase Essential 5 installation to version 5.1.1!
Please note that you might need to insert the original Cubase Essential 5 installation DVD during the update process!

Mac OS X users should install the CoreAudio2ASIO update right after the program installation has been completed.

*Please note that the slightly newer installer for Windows is only needed if you have already updated to version 5.1.1 but Cubase Essential stops loading while the "Studio Manager" is being initialized. Also note that only the installer and the VST3 plug-in set have been modified in comparision to the older 5.1.1 update patch.
This is why the installer shows version 5.1.2 but Cubase Essential is still on version 5.1.1!
