Can't Install Sonar X3 Demo

Hello, first post here. I've downloaded the 1.40 GB Sonar X3 demo, but Windows 7 does not recognize the file. I opened it with 7-Zip and got a folder that has no installer in it. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

I cannot say for sure but Cakewalk uses RAR to deliver some products. While the archives can be opened with 7-Zip they are supposed to be run from Windows. I have seen a problem in the past when using IE to download Cakewalk installers, the file extension goes missing. Try renaming the file as an exe and run it.

Renaming it to (.exe) did the trick! Thank you. It was downloaded with IE.
 
My cursor spun for about a minute after double-clicking on the file, before the installer started up. It finally did though, looking at Sonar X3 now. Looks good!
