Hi Steve-
I've tried uninstalling all the Sonar stuff. No go as it remembers my serial number and everything else once I reinstall.
That's not a complete uninstall, then. You have to clean out some registry entries as well.
If you don't have any other CW products that use their shared folders, you can remove SONAR completely using the following procedure (this is for Windows XP; change details as required):
- Go to Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs and uninstall <SONAR> [whatever version]
- When prompted to "Remove Shared Files?", click "Yes to All"
- Go to Start | Run, and type "regedit"
- To be safe, BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY before proceeding!
- Navigate to HKEY_Current_User\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\ and delete the "<version>" key
- Navigate to HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\ and delete the "<version>" key
- Open Windows Explorer
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\Cakewalk
- Verify that the <SONAR> directory has been removed
- Open the Shared Utilities folder and delete PluginManager.exe and VstScan.exe
- Navigate to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Cakewalk and delete the "<SONAR>" directory if it exists
- Navigate to %APPDATA%\Cakewalk and delete the "<SONAR>" directory
