Not able to Install Mackie Cakewalk PLugin

Hello All,
 
I am trying to install the Cakewalk Mackie plugin the:
 
Mackiecontrolsurface.exe app,
when I run the program (for Win10) I get an error that states that
"The shared Control Surface folder was not found" .....and then claims that I need to reinstall sonar.
This seems rather odd and I was wondering if anyone has a fix?
Thanks

    The first time I see that... Can you check that you have "C:\Cakewalk\Shared surfaces" folder?
    If not, you can try to create it (the plug-in will be registered my the installation procedure, so it does not matter than other plug-in are somewhere else).

    I have it only on machine with 32bit installation of Sonar (and 32bit Windows). But I see 16GB RAM, so I guess you have Windows 64bit. 
     
    In any case, try to create "C:\Cakewalk\Shared surfaces" and see what the installer say.
    BTW from where have you download the installer?

    I guess we should try to use 1 thread instead of 2
     
    AZ Controller plug-in will not help you at all at the moment. My mod of the original MackieControl can help with ProChannel EQ/Comp only. But as I have written in another thread, FX plug-ins should work out of the box.

    Hello AZslow,
     
    Yes I do have the c:\program files\cakewalk\shared surfaces folder.
    When I try to install the program:
    https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2005263/Mackie-control-surface-Plug-in
    it tells me that the shared surfaces folder is not found. then it asks me to reinstall sonar.

    It may also be easier if I can simply get the *.dll file Mackie*.dll to simply copy to my
    c:\program files\cakewalk\shared surfaces directory.
    I currently have the mackiecontrol.dll file dated 2014-12-15 , I believe however, that cakewalk are providing a more current version.

    MackieControl was not changed much since 2014 (if at all), so you can simply continue to use what you already have.
    I guess the installers wants "C:\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces" and not one in the "Program files". Which should be there in case you use 64bit Sonar and OS (and have not manipulated things by "simple copy to...").

    What surface control are you trying to install? 
     
    MackieControl.dll should get installed automatically with CbB.
     
    It should be in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces
     
    Also, have you tried running the installer as admin?
