    I recently grabbed the Chapelet Spanish Collection Organ from the sister site, but I'm having some trouble loading it.

    I keep getting a version mismatch error (Message code 1136) saying the XML was saved with a newer version of Hauptwerk. My setup is currently on HW 4.1.1.012, and it looks like the file format needs 4.20014.

    Does anyone know if there's a custom launcher or some kind of workaround to bypass this version check? I'd love to get it working without having to mess with my current installation, so any tips on how to skip this prompt or spoof the version would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for the info and the link. It just seems a bit weird to me, though. Didn't they ever drop a newer, more updated release on the site? It feels strange that we'd be stuck on 4.1.1 when sets like this clearly need 4.2 or higher to run.
