Error messages after uninstall & reinstall S6PE

I unistalled & reinstalled Sonar 6 PE because of some problems with it & mainly VST adaptor errors. Any ideas as to how to correct these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Ya, You have everything but your computer specs posted in your signature. But Often those errors are when an install disk is scratched or the files are corrupted. 

You don't need the Cakewalk VST adapter with PE 6 at all. VSTs are native in that version already. I think vs 4 was the last one that needed the adapter.

AFAIK / IIRC Uninstalling and re-installing you should check that also the registry gets properly cleaned by uninstalling. I've never uninstalled SONAR so I can't say more about the details concerning that aspect.

I find it very hard to believe that W7 would be the cause of the problems, but if you have W8...? Then there's quite a few years passed from PE6.
PE 6 isn't that old, after all, and I believe I've seen posts by PE6/W7 users.

A damaged installation disc, as mentioned above, could be the cause.

Sorry I thought I had windows XP sp3 in my sig. But yeah I still use XPsp3. atleast until change my MB & install my intel i7

Not sure what Cactus & Bristol are talking about or who is a spammer? So I'm not going to respond to those comments.

You can see what I'm talking about in post #8 where I've quoted the spammer (qingherry)

Don't worry - it wasn't aimed at you!

UAC = User Account Control - where you can set up users and define their privileges within Windows

It's not UAC if you're running XP. Sorry, I thought for some reason you were on W7.

Try running SONAR as Administrator. Some older plugins still reference HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, which could account for them failing to initialize. A less-likely reason could be a corrupt registry. In rare situations, antivirus software can interfere with installations, so disable any antivirus software before installing.

You might also try downloading and installing the MSVC runtime from Microsoft.

I'm really worried there may be some error on the CD... 

Try making a copy of the installation disk and use the copy to install from.  Sometimes a slightly faulty disk gets misread during the installation process but still gets copied in full without any errors.

By the way, it's a DVD rather than a CD.

Sorry, I didn't read that post clearly either and thought it was you he was talking about..

I don't think they let you upgrade to 8.5 anymore, which is a shame. I think you are forced to go all the way to X2. 

Look very carefully at the disk in a good light , it can be a microscopic piece of dirt. It can also be your DVD drive is acting up. Once again a dirty lens. There are lens cleaning disks, most of them not worth a pinch of c--n s--t. Try a can of computer air in there. 

True... I will need to get the program onto a usb drive. I'm fighting too many battles right now. Trying to get Sonar working properly again. Trying to get MY DA7 & 1884 back in sync while adding ADA8K & trying to get My MV8800 & RME working with my Motu 828mk2. I don't think I'll ever tear my studio down again!
