Sonar X2 64 bit WILL NOT INSTALL! 32 bit willinstall and load fine but no 64!

Running Windows 7 SP1. 8 Gig ram. I7 @ 2.85 Gig.

Trying to install Sonar X2 in 64 bit mode. Most of the first disc runs until it comes time to register dlls beginning with DS700 and continuing through many including the stretch file and many more.

Error code reads.

Uanable to register the DLL/OCX:RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3

After pressing ignore on all files that would not load error code was given stating

The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) Click to close the application.

So still am unable to load 64 bit version. I had turn off Norton completely before beginning the attempt.

Hoping you can help as I really do want 64bit version as I have Guitar Rig 64 Pro and it does not show up.

Thank you very much.

Formerly Dreamsharer, now taking it a lot easier and enjoying it a lot. . Cake user since V 3 Pro. Using Sonar X2a now and for the past three days since upgrade.
Asus MB with I7 at 2.80 gig and 8 GB ram. Tascam US1800 for big stuff and MAudio Fast Track for goofing off. Love both! Several keyboards and many Fender and Gibson guitars along with Blackface Deluxe Reverb and Tweed Champ along with other amps.
But in the end it is one guitar or key on one track at a time and the smile on our faces when it is done.

Your Sonar installation sounds like it is having permissions issues.

It is not enough to be logged on as an administrative account for the Sonar installation, you must actually EXPLICITLY tell Windows to run the Sonar installation AS ADMINISTRATOR.

To do so, right-click on the install program icon and click on Run as Administrator.  I believe that will clear up the registration of the dll components.

Please try the above and post back the results,

I have ran through the registry and manually removed all entry’s pertaining to sonar and cakewalk.
I have turned off UAC
I have tried putting the failing DLL's in the syswow and system 32 directories as someone suggested.
I have tried manually attempting to register the DLL's with Administrator CMD Prompt.
I am running windows 7 64 bit verified.
I have tried setting up a new administrator's account and retried the install.

All of which have failed.. The one thing I can't figure out is that I had Sonar 64bit Producer 8.5 installed on the machine previously to installing this upgrade X2.

And the 32 bit version installs the same shared folder DLL's no problem. I'm still hoping someone smarter than me can figure this out. Is this a challenge why yes it is.
 
 
That did not work. You can actually go into the properties of the install loads and check the box to load the program as an administrator. This will assure all aspects for the install are as Administrator privileges.

I am trying to install from the DVD package I got to make sure I had it. I have the same exact problem as stated above. Wondering if it might have something to do with the trial package properties that made it so you couldn't install X2 demo twice. I believe it is having the same exact problem I ran into then.
Knew I could buy X2 within two weeks so I tried to reinstall the demo version just to get me through. Not sure but I believe the fail mode may be the exact same.
Really appreciate those of you working with this. I love Sonar X2 but I need to have it in 64 bit and so far so bad.

Did you do this?

Easiest to just right click, and choose "Run as Administrator"
