Custom Install Of Sonar

In this case, 8.5.3. Can I do an install where I just install the basic Sonar program, and a few plugins? No synths, no thousands of samples? I would use it for mastering only. Import wave files, apply some plugins, and generate mp3 and wave files as products. I don't want all the samples, which Malwarebytes identifies as malware, thus slowing down my scans enormously. I could read through all 7,000 + of them, and then exempt them from future scans, but that seems an impossible task. So, a simple install of 8.5.3 with the plugins I use for mastering makes sense. The pieces are already done, either in Sonar or Reaper.

OK, so it sounds like it's pretty straightforward in 8.5. Do I just de-select everything I don't want, and then install it? That's it?

Yes, there is a custom install option with a pick list. I believe 8.5 also provides a drop down above the pick list with a few prepackaged options. The basic/custom install option is a couple of screen into the install process.

Well, I just tried it, and had to uninstall as it would not open. It was pretty bare-bones, just a handful of plugins, no synths, libraries, etc. During install, there were some error messages, which I ignored. At the very end, there were some options I wasn't sure about, and I unchecked them. Don't know what I did wrong, but I'll try again with different configuration and see what happens.

Glad it worked out.  and I'm with you about using stuff that always worked for you.. I'm not very adventuresome  myself...:] 
 
When I did it,  I only un selected the tutorials and library's and stuff. Like I say most of it doesn't take up much room.
