    Has anyone else noticed the Reference Manual PDF in the Braintree update?

    My last post seemed a non sequitur.  Scooks post originally only said "Yes" when  saw it, but had changed/expanded by the time I posted my reply.
     
     
    Anyhow - good news for all those that wanted one, me included.

    I guess I was under the impression that if you installed the core program, it installed all components listed under it, but apparently you need to click on each item to install it?

    Have done search in program files and all I can find is the Sonar User Guide which is 58 pages. Is that what you guys are talking about? That isn't a reference manual. Is there a pdf for the 'reference manual' yet?

    get the "SONAR Help and Tutorials" update through Command Center or your Products page in your Cakewalk SSO Account. After that's installed the Reference Manual will be in Program Files

    Strange,
    where is that slippery little bustard?
     
    Just installed Braintree, but no Sonar Reference Manual under C:\Program Files\Sonar Platinum,
    only the SONAR.CHM & the Sonar User Guide.pdf.
     
    Found the installation files under C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Command Center
    \Downloads\SonarHelp&Tutorial_1.0.0.7.exe.
     
    Installed it manually, and all the Tutorial files ended up in D:\Cakewalk Content\Sonar Platinum\Tutorial Projects.
    These are the files that i do not want.
     
    The one I want - Sonar Reference Manual.pdf (or something like that) is MISSING.
    When I search for it, I find the pdf manuals for SONAR X1 / X2 and X3.
     
    So, what is the correct name of the slippery one?

    Strange,

    LOL... I installed manually as well and had to search for it last night. It is in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR Platinum
     
    (there is no "option" for where she goes!)
     
    It has been commented already, but it would be helpful to have this as a simple link as with previous X versions instead of being baked into a 1.3GB file.

    Hi,
    yes, that's where I expected to find it, but no luck.
    What is the exact name of the file?

    SONAR Reference Guide.pdf
     
    It landed in the executable directory for me, so your path may be to where the SONARPLT.exe file is.

    Ok, thanks,
    I guess I'll have to wait for it to become available as a singular download from Cakewalk, then.
     
    No worries, I just got the Scott Garrigus book (X3 that is).

    If you downloaded manually, you can try running the installer again. I actually did that last night when I couldn't find the file and just watched the installation go. It is baked into that Help and Tutorials installation.

    Yes, I did that too (a second install), but the slippery little devil just won't surface.
     
    I also tried to open the exe-file with 7z, to have a look inside,
    but I found only more installation files, no pdf's.
     
    So I'm stumped over this.
     
    Anyway, thanks for helping!

    Just to sum it up -
    I believe my problem was that I didn't have a 'civilized' (English/American) Windows installation,
    so when Braintree Help & Tutorial was installed, it got confused by my heathen language where
    the program directory is called C:\Programfiler (x86).
    The last update, the SPlat Dork, fixed this OK.
