In order to install Advanced Edition 2 software updates, follow the listed steps:
Download the Update
1) Exit the TriCaster software to view the Windows desktop.
2) Launch Internet Explorer and navigate to https://www.newtek.com/downloads/.
3) Scroll down towards the bottom of the download page and look for TriCaster® Advanced Edition 2 (Legacy). Click the version number underneath that.
On the next page, make sure you download the .exe file and both .bin files. Should you need to move these files, make sure they are all in the same file directory before attempting to run the .exe.
4) When the download is complete, right click the application file and then click Properties. Check the Security section and check the 'Unblock' button if applicable. Hit Apply and then OK.
5) Right click the application again and click, "Run as administrator."
6) The next prompt will give two choices. We recommend selecting Download only. This will save the files to a local location on the system and they can be moved to a different location or removable storage after the install is complete. Click Next.
7) The initial EULA agreement will appear. Click, "I accept the agreement" and then click Next.
8) Select a directory to save the downloaded files to. Click Next.
9) Select the components you wish to download. The TriCaster Advanced Edition upgrade is the most commonly needed install. TriCaster Advanced Edition Content is the NewTek stock footage and can be skipped if you are pressed for time, but we will often want to use those clips for troubleshooting purposes so it's recommended you install them at some point. Virtual Set Editor upgrade is a Demo version of our Virtual Set Editor software. It is fully featured, but if you wish to export any of the sets you make for use, you will need to purchase a Virtual Set Editor license. Virtual Set Editor content is content for for creating sets in Virtual Set Editor. Animation Store Creator is free software for use with creating custom animations. Animation Store Creator content is the files for use in Animation Store Creator. NDI|HX® drivers are important and required for any NDI|HX® device (like a Connect Spark or PTZ1 camera) to interface with the TriCaster. Once selected, click Next.
10) The download will begin. Once the download is finished, the prompt will then say 'copying upgrade, please wait'. This can take several minutes with no visible activity so be sure to not close the prompt.
11) Once the download is complete, the files will then appear in the directory you selected in Step 8 (TriCaster defaults this location to the C Drive if not changed). The suggested order in which to install the updates is suggested below:
Installing the Update
1) Right click and run the TriCaster Adv.exe as Admin. You may also need to change the Security in Properties as mentioned in the first section.
2) Proceed through the welcome screen, the EULA, and the Important information screen. Select your preferred Language. We suggest selecting "Update default web streaming presets" before clicking Next.
3) The install will begin and run through various modes. The install typically requires a reboot and the system will Restart on it's own so click OK.
4) After the system restarts, it may run some Windows updates and another prompt will appear. Click Next to continue and agree to the prompts. The system may appear to hang for several minutes at any point during the file integrity check or when installing prerequisite steps. Do not interrupt this process and let it continue.
5) After the files are extracted, the software will then prompt to Install:
