C++ Runtime Error in Sonar 8.5.3 after installing X1

There was a post yesterday or the day before which talked about needing to replace a microsoft runtime c++ file thingy.  You might look for it.  Search C++ and see what turns up.  Basically the OP said that X1 installs an outdated and outmoded C++ redistributable file that can be replaced with a newer more stable one from microsoft.  I should've bookmarked it.

brundlefly> thanks for the threat!

bladetragic>  I used the 2010 redistribitable (See above post for link) and it seems to work. (for now) 

The 32 bit version of the package as described in the threat that brundefly posted is on the same page as the 64-bit version:

download the: vcredist_x86.exe  (below the x64 files)

Installed the 2005 package and seems like the crashes are gone. Unbelievable I didn't thought of this earlier. I learned to live with those crashes for the past 2 years. I really hope this finally solved my problems ;-)

Hi Tony, 

I Installed the package 2 days ago. Look like it's still working. Though I must admit I haven't recorded anything yet (like described in my earlier post). But  I did work on some large project filled with lots of vst's and it seems that it runs way smoother now. 

Just try and install the 2005 pack on this link

hope it works for you! it's one thing when it crashes when your alone at work, but if it continuously crashes when someone else is there it's really... really frustrating :-/

 

It seems like it running stable now. 

No i didn't check with tech support. Usually there's enough info on this forum for me. 

Did you also installed the 2010 package? don't know for shure if this contributed to my stability performance. 

What exact error messages do you get when sonar crashes??  

Hey Anton are you seriously using X1? Are you crazy? You have the privilege of having paying clients and you're using experimental software that even Cakewalk admits was not fully baked as they already had an update in the pipeline at release time. I don't mean to offend by my comment its just i find it hard to believe that someone would be taking such risks with their business

I would go back to using 8.5.3. I have 8.5.3 and X1 running on the same machine without effecting the stability of 8.5.3

You don't uninstall the redistributable C++ files you just install the update leaving the older files installed. Give that a try.

I am so sorry to hear of your problem. Keeping reading the Forum I logged in to respond.

One thing is to be dissatisfied with X1 or have lack of time to learn it with a confidence 8.5 edition is available for speed work, and another is to have X1 installation abusing 8.5 smooth running, causing, like Anton says, sending clients home. While I do music for fun as hobby and love message release to the world, I believe there is no excuse for Cakewalk to make this possible and not testing it thoroughly enough, so, loyal cakewalk-ers could be on a safe side (*).

I am sure there is no second priority questions, everything should be excellent, and testing based. I am sceptical that guy who used X1 for making Call of Duty soundtrack actually used it, perhaphs resaved the project in X1, there are too many bugs reported here to garantee trusted work and jump start is possible with X1.

I did not upgrade yet. First, I got Sonar 8.5 just in October 2010. Second, I know that the only thing Sonar 8.5 Producer would benefit me is a surround mixing. But I managed/tested to do surround mixing with Home Studio 7XL (and could similarly do it with Music Creator 5). While I more and more switching to 8.5 Producer, I know I am above the sky with my creative possibilities using existing Cakewalk products, I am so happy with. I do not need to change the rocket be it X1 or Ex2)))

(*) another solution is trust yourself and install new software on a separate computer)))

I've installed X1A and.....

Yesterday I was editting vocals and I got the Runtime Error again. although this time it seems a little different.  I only get the error message window "C++ RUNTIME ERROR" with no other info. and the only option is to click ok and let sonar exit. 

I don't know if it could be a memory related problem. I'm using quite a lot of memory and i'm really stretching the limits of my 32bit system. 

I think i'm going to migrate to Windows 7 to solve my memory problem and hopefully it will improve the stability of my system. 

I'm not shure. My dialog box doesn't say anything else then just 'runtime error'. 

I was looking for a program to monitor the processes but forgot the name. any suggestions?

Anyway: Today I started a new project in X1A and it worked without crashing. So maybe it's a bad or conflicting plug that I use or maybe It is a memory problem after all. 

I have another recording session tomorrow. I will use 8.5 for that so I hope it works.

Today I bought Windows 7 64bit, so I will be installing that also in the comming days. I need to be able to adress more memory anyway since I use a lot of Orchestra Libraries. 

I'll keep u posted!

I CAN'T FIND THE STUDIO VERB 2 IN MY SONAR X1 PRO..AND I ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY PREVIOUS SONAR8.5 STUDIO VERSION!I LIKE TO ASK OTHER USERS "DO YOU EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM"??IF ANYONE CAN ANSWER IT WILL BE HIGHLY APPRICIATED!!

third: that question should be a new thread

answering my own thread.

i ended up having to do a system restore in order to get 8.5.3 to work....

sigh....

So has this issue been resolved in the X1b update??

I'd like to know if it's safe to install on my main studio computer in the not-too-distant future!!

Maybe not.  I had my first go at X1b last night and it was a nightmare, constant C++ Runtime errors.  8.5.3 had been very stable for me but haven't checked yet to see if that has been affected.  Also moved to a new audio interface in the interim (M-Audio FastTrack Ultra Pro) so need to check that old drivers for my Toneport UX2 are completely uninstalled and not causing problems.

I'm at the beginning of the troubleshooting process but thought I'd post here in the mean time in case anyone else is dealing with something similar or has some good ideas. 

After making sure my system is clear of old drivers I may try the runtime library linked further up in the thread.  We'll see how it goes.  Not going to blame X1b until I've done some legwork though.
