Platinum installed now Audition not working?

After a smooth upgrade from X3e to Platinum my Adobe Audition 3.0 doesn't run.  Well sort of.  When trying to start Audition as a stand alone program, it gives me an error to reinstall the program.  If I launch it "as administrator" it launches and runs as it did before my upgrade.  Not a show stopper, but a pain in the butt.
 
Any thoughts?

    The install for Platinum should not touch anything to do with Audition so I would check if you have installed any other updates.

    Other than an automatic "Windows 7 Professional" update no other software has been installed.  I haven't looks at that history yet.

    There may be something shared by both programs ?
    Like Visual C++ ?  They both use it.

    I just upgraded from X3e to Platinum too - and use Audition too.
    I found that I couldn't run Audition from the tools menu - because SONAR is 'run as administrator' and Audition wasn't. When I run Audition as administrator (set in them shortcut) - it works from the tools menu!

    I never tried it standalone at that point - but everything works now by running both as administrator (Audition definitely runs standalone this way).

    I don't know why it should matter - but is it OK for you to just run both as administrator? If so, you should be OK. If not - did you try setting SONAR to not 'run as administrator'? And see if that works?

    You could modify your desktop icon.  Right click on the Audition icon.  Click on "Properties" then go to the "Compatibility" tab and check the box by "Run this program as Administrator".  Try that and see if it works.

    There have been many threads about how running Sonar as administrator will prevent dragging files from Windows Explorer into Sonar.
     
    Here's one :  Tools Menu Update

    I was initially unable to run Audition from within SONAR after moving to Windows 8.1. I'd get an unhelpful dialog that just said "Cannot create process".
     
    I was pretty sure it wasn't a UAC issue because I run SONAR as Administrator. The problem turned out to be that the Audition path was quoted in the ExePath registry value. This was because I'd copied and pasted it from the Audition desktop shortcut. After removing the quotation marks from the path, SONAR had no problem invoking Audition.
     
    Although probably not relevant to your issue, I figured I'd throw it out there in case it helps somebody.
     
     


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Thanks for the inputs.  Changing the desktop shortcut to admin did work for that.  I haven't tried to access Audition from within Sonar yet.

    Audition will not launch from the tools menu from within Platinum.  I am not sure what the syntax is in RegEdit to launch as admin.  It does show up in the in the Platinum tools menu as an option.

    Bret,
     
    Here's what I have:
     
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Tools Menu\Audition]
    "ExePath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Audition 3.0\\Audition.exe"
    "HelpFilePath"=""
    "MenuText"="Audition"
    "StatusBarText"="Launch Audition"
    "Type"="WaveEditor"
     
     
    As long as SONAR runs as administrator, and Audition does too - it should work. My problem was that SONAR runs as administrator but Audition wasn't.
     
    This is from my .reg file. Are you OK playing around with these? Or going in to the registry and doing it manually?
    (I don't want to be responsible for screwing anything up)

    Opened Sonar as admin and tried to edit from the tools menu.  Audition opened and worked fine.
     
    What is the difference in opening programs as admin?
     
    I have re-installed Audition with no luck as it still won't launch without running as administrator.
