please help me : I cant install dsf Symphonic Strings

Hi! Trying to put Symphonic Strings into Sonar X2 and each time I run installer, it tells me this : Error: Could not locate Dimension Pro installation please update to Dimension Pro 1.5 and run this installer again. I did run Dimension Pro 1.5 installer twice. Did not change anything about Symphonic Strings... Someone knows what I am missing ?

    Perhaps your download wasn't good. Try downloading it again.

    both my DSF Symphonic String and Dimension Pro 1.5 are good download. I have done the trip twice. Is DSF Symphonic String supposed to be a stand alone instrument or is it supposed to be in DImension Pro??

    I unziped the Digital Symphonic file. There is an application file of 1 366 501 and an Acrobat file. There is no file with a procedure how to get DSF Symphonc String in Sonar X2.

    Yes, that is the new installer. Have you registered your DimPro?

    They are sounds for DimPro. Is DimPro 1.5 the only version ever installed on this machine?

    There are two parts to the library

    If you are running 64bit the default locations are
    c:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples
    c:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs

    For 32bit the default locations are
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples
    c:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs


    There should be a "Digital Sound Factory Symphonic String HD" directory in the Multisamples directory that contains the sfz files and subdirectory of wav files. There should be another "Digital Sound Factory Symphonic String HD" directory in the Programs directory containing 4 subdirectories of prog files. FYI, the ProgramData directory is a hidden directory.

    Thats a good start. Thanks alot. That really get me the idea of what goes where. I would like to put the files where they need to go but this Digital Sound Factory Symphonic String HD file is an application, and it cannot be opened like a folder. When I executed the application, which i presume is suppose to put all the files where they belong, it says that it cannot do it Error: Could not locate Dimension Pro installation please update to Dimension Pro 1.5 and run this installer again... So, my new question is, how can i assure myself dimension Pro is registered? Is it registered cause its working?

    The "Digital Sound Factory Symphonic String Hi Definition.exe" is the installer for the library. For some reason the installer does not recognize your DimPro installation. Did you try to run the installer as administrator? Right click on the exe file and select "Run as administrator." You can check your DimPro version by running the standalone DimPro, click on the "DIMENSIONPRO" in the upper right-hand side of the GUI. The DimPro info screen will popup with the version and serial number. You may want to do the same running DimPro in SONAR. They should both be version 1.5.

    Everthing should work. I dont understand at all. dimPro is 1.5, in Sonar X2 and in standalon. The same version. With expansions packs, 1, 2, 3. It did work for the Encanti in Rapture, made those work. Made Zeta2 Mutant patches work.... But Digital Sound Factory Symphonic Strings HD for PC, nop.

    I think you are down to contacting DSF directly. Their contact info is in this thread http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=2663494

    I think you have to refresh dimension Pro to get the sounds to show up In the column If they are as you say put In the right folders
