Hello Patrice,
[I've merged your new topic and your previous two technical support topics together, since they cross-reference each other so much.]
I'm very sorry to hear that you found the process of moving to v5 so difficult and decided to revert to v4. However, why didn't you simply ask us for support if/when you found things that you needed help with during the process? We could easily have helped you with those things.
Some brief answers to your points:

all the audio output and audiooutput group functions no longer exist!
When you first launch Hauptwerk v5 it shows the '
General Configuration Wizard' and asks you whether you want to discard your v4 audio routing and reset it to defaults. The option is ticked by default (and recommended for best results), but you can simply un-tick it for you prefer to keep your existing v4 routing. That's also explained in the Hauptwerk v5 release notice.

(Unless you specifically un-installed Hauptwerk v4 first), non-encrypted organs don't need to be re-installed in v5. When you first *load* any given organ in v5 (e.g. via '
Organ | Load organ') the organ's cache will automatically be regenerated (which takes a while, but requires no actions on your part). The same was true when moving from v2->v3, or v3->v4, for example.

If trying to load any dongle-licensed sample set, then the Hauptwerk licensing packages file needs to have been installed. (That's covered in the release notice, user guide, and in the instructions I mentioned previously.) However, if just evaluating v5 then you wouldn't be able to load dongle-licensed sample sets anyway (since you wouldn't yet have migrated your v4 sample set licences to v5).

I run the installer, impossible!
I discussed with you yesterday that the only way to revert a computer from v5 to v4 is to un-install Hauptwerk completely, then re-install v4.
Anyway, if, in the future, you do decide to try to upgrade again, then please let us know and if needed then perhaps we might be able to help you throughout the process, so as to get you up and running on it. (For example, perhaps Francois would be able to help you as you did it, given that he also speaks French natively.)
Best regards, Martin.
