Hi! I have the same problem: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Deleting-UAD-plugin-from-FXBin-causes-Sonar-hang-Lexington-m3343277.aspx
Technical Support recommends reinstalling Microsoft C++ Redistributable Packages, but I do not find time for it...

Billy Buck
Which particular Microsoft C++ Redistributable Packages? One or multiple, Which versions? There are literally many out there....too many to count.....is that Microsoft "Visual" C++ Redistributable Packages? Which version or versions does SPlat x64 rely on?

Thank you for contacting Cakewalk. We greatly apologize for the delayed response. Our support has been very busy trying to answer all possible customer questions and inquiries. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

First, let's make sure your version of SONAR is completely up to date. You can do this by opening Cakewalk Command Center, selecting your version of SONAR on the left-hand side, and then clicking the 'Update' button in the center of the window. If the Update button is not available, this means your copy of SONAR is up-to-date.

If the crashes still occur after the latest update, I recommend that you re-install your Microsoft C++ Redistributable Libraries. Many third-party applications will install these so sometimes the libraries can get skewed as multiple versions exist on the same computer. It might not be SONAR at all, but more so the C++ libraries. Please do this:

Go to Start > All Programs > Programs and Features and to uninstall any Microsoft C++ Redistributable Packages listed. Afterwards, download these packages directly from Microsoft and re-install them. I have listed the most common Redistributable packages below. If you’re on a 32-bit operating system, I'd get the first three. If you’re on a 64-bit operating system, the second three. If you run both 32-bit and 64-bit SONAR on a 64-bit operating system, install them all.

For 32-bit operating systems or 32-bit programs on 64-bit operating systems:

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package x86: http://www.microsoft.com/...d/details.aspx?id=5638
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package x86: http://www.microsoft.com/...d/details.aspx?id=5582
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package x86: http://www.microsoft.com/...d/details.aspx?id=5555

For 64-bit operating systems:

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package x64: http://www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx?id=18471
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package x64: http://www.microsoft.com/...d/details.aspx?id=2092
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package x64: http://www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx?id=14632

The Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package is available at http://www.microsoft.com/...details.aspx?id=30679.

The Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package is available at http://www.microsoft.com/...details.aspx?id=40784. The 2012 and 2013 Packages contain installers for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Note that the 2012 and 2013 Packages each have three available files: vcredist_x86.exe, vcredist_arm.exe and vcredist_x64.exe. You'll only need to install the vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe.
