How do I stop Cakewalk editions of TH2/TH3 getting installed by default?
How can I easily prevent the installation of the Cakewalk editions of Overloud TH2/TH3 when installing or upgrading Sonar every month? I already have the full versions and so do not want these versions at all, however they keep installing and I keep selecting them accidentally in projects!
Unfortunately I am not seeing these as separate installs in the Command Center, because I could just like to hide them in there.
Thanks for your help in advance.

That's weird. I have had the full version of TH2 for a long time. I update every month with the command center. My full version of TH2 is the only one installed. Never even seen the others. Sorry this is not an answer per say but that seems weird. I mean is it activated and registered correctly, etc? i Mean the full version. I also have the full version of Breverb - which is also overloud. My full version is the only one installed also. I would ask overloud to be honest.

It is better to keep TH2 Producer even if you have a full one just to have an access to (some incredible) Craig Anderton fx chains.

Thanks for the tip, but all I want to do is uninstall it and forgot about it. I also have the full version of Breverb and I don't want the Cakewalk edition of Breverb installed anymore.

stratman70 I have had the full version of TH2 for a long time.
BTW, I also had both Axe FX2 and TH2 and realised Fractal may go. How would you compare amp/cab sims Axe vs TH2? In fact Axe Fx2 is a plugin too, just with a dedicated hardware :-)

I don't want to appear rude, I know I have only just joined these forums, but I would really appreciate that we could stick to my topic so I might get an answer, thankyou x

Well, I guess you can say that I mean HW plug in, but not really....-when I did a blind test with a group of friends using the axefx model Mesa IIC+ using a frfr and my bodies real one. No one could tell the difference. So, whatever one believes that works for me--- cannot compare them at all - there is NO comparison. What do you mean Fractal may go? You mean yours may go? AS in sell yours? Ok-everyone has to use what they like and works for them. They are tools. That's all-So it's all good. Just my personal experience -the Mesa's, Trainwreck, Dumbles and Fenders sold me. Shiva's are great also- nots of metal players like the Axefx-No metal for me-but a few time folks (musicians in audience) heard me play and then asked what amp I was using. when I told them it was the axefx they said they thought that was just for Metal. I hear that quite often. But if you go to the forum you'd see that is not true-but metal is very big on the forum. I am classic rock, Blues R&B----regular old guy stuff :-) I think it's great to be a guitar player in this day and age-so many different tools- There is wrong tool if it works for you-I believe. BTW, I mostly just record in a bedroom studio-the axefx is perfect for that- Hey I always liked my Boss GX700 when I used it to play out for most of the 90's (thru a musicman combo) Still have the GX700 actually

Did you check with Overloud as suggested? Give that a try James. It cannot hurt.

You might try installing the SONAR update packages individually and not updating "Boutique FX Suite"...which I think is what includes the THx product. I typically avoid the CCC altogether...but you should get better control by picking which package to install rather than letting it update everything.

At Stratman70 - got your PM unable to reply - No problem :) At Afrodrum - TH3 seems to inherit the Cakewalk amp sims so it's fine.
At Dantarbill - Thanks this actually helps me. The issue is that this "Boutique FX Suite" contains several plugins clamped together. I don't see TH3 in the description however, just TH2. I want to keep VX-64, vocal strip and PX64.
I need to uninstall Cakewalk editions of Overloud products from that package somehow, and when I upgrade this package I don't want the Overloud software reinstalled and I need to keep the other plugins. I just can't understand why plugins aren't distributed as individual installers in Cakewalk Command Center, it just makes life difficult for no reason. I thought Command Center was designed to make installation easy but obviously not.

Hey James-Glad you got the PM :-) Senior moments here....The reaso I am not seeing the Cakewalk Breverb or the Cakewak TH2 is I excluded them in the plug in manager. So when I choose a FX I only see my full TH2 Producer, TH3 and my Full Breverb 2. Just to be sure I didn't just do this-I reinstalled the botique and engineering suites. excluded plugs are "still" hidden. not the perfect solution but at least I don't have to see them when choosing fx.

Thanks Stratman70 - that's a reasonable workaround, but I just don't want the Cakewalk versions to get anywhere near the full versions.
I saw there was some issue with Cakewalk TH3 overwriting the TH3 full versions for instance, granted that has already been fixed but I want to avoid these possible scenarios entirely. So far it doesn't seem that intuitive; CCC appears to have a one size fits all approach right now. I don't think this is a big ask to have it install or uninstall exactly what I want, where I want, like most installers.

I have the same question as the original post. Just bought TH3 Full version, but I'm not sure how to go about it, or how to remove the Cakewalk version. Have gone through many activation woes with plugins and would like to avoid any more hassle than necessary. Thanks

I just installed the full version, rescanned plugins and everything worked (didn't remove the Sonar version first). No need to worry about Cakewalk updates trampling over it any more, sadly :( AMB

Just delete the TH3 folder in "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VstPlugins" to remove the Cakewalk edition and then rescan your plugins. It does not affect the full version (or even the unlocked Cakewalk edition), because they are installed in "C:\Program Files\Overloud...", "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3" and in your chosen VST2 directory.
... many years before ...
