Install Error: Unable to register Dll/OCX

Hi, trying to install on a new laptop.  Win 7 64bit.  Installing 32bit Sonar x1.  I keep getting the error above referencing nullproxy.dll.  Any ideas... Tried running the installer as administrator.  No luck.
 
Thanks,
John

Are you running the setup by rt-clicking on it and "Run As Administrator"?
 
If that does not work...
 
In Windows 7 have you turned off User Access Control off?
 
If not
 
Control Panel
    User Accounts
        Change User Access Control Settings
 
I think...
 
Hope This Helps

nullproxy.dll is not an ActiveX library. It does not require registration. 

For some reason the installer thinks it does, is trying to register it anyway. The registration fails because the DLL does not have an OleSelfRegister entrypoint, meaning the DLL does not know how to register itself and does not need to anyway. 

If your installer allows you to ignore the error and proceed, do so. There will be no subsequent problems as a result.

it doesn't work to me. I am impressed. If that is the quality of the installer, I wonder about the rest.

Resurrecting a three year old thread?
 
It has generally been accepted that registration problems in Sonar installs are cured by making sure that widows update has completed and a reboot after the update has applied the fixes.  This should be a pre-installation requirement in the Sonar installer.

Yes, resurrecting it.
Regardless what it is generally accepted, Sonar won't install.
My windows is up to date with the latest patch, and I have installed many other products which all worked as a charm, except Sonar. 
Am I the only one with this problem, or it is also generally accepted that Cakewalk installation programs are less robust than average? Because if it is only me then I will re-adjust my judgment on the quality of the product, which I purchased but I can't use, and for which of all the hours spent since its purchase, none when towards the commitments I have, and all went to troublshoot regsvr32, visual c++ library and what not.
 
And then, someone tells me it is generally accepted is my fault, basically.

It is your fault.  That you had to resurrect a three year old thread should indicate that this is not a common problem, and yes, I'm saying that there is something dodgey with your system or you would not be experiencing this issue.  You need to readjust your judgment.
 
Now, how about providing some information that might allow the folks here to help you to get to your configuration issues.  What computer (motherboard, cpu memory), OS version (are you installing on a supported OS), and version of Sonar are you trying to install that isn't working?

Hi Bitflipper,
 
thanks for your reply.
Here is the list:
 
on ..\Sonar Professional:
Stretch.ax
 
on ..\ Shared Plugins:
DeWire.dll
SonitusFXCompressor.dll
SonitusFXSUrroundCOmpressor.dll
SonitusFXDelay.dll
SonitusFXEqualizer.dll
SonitusFXGate.dll
SonitusFXModulator.dll
SonitusFXMultiband.dll
SOnitusFXPhase.dll
SonitusFXReverb.dll
SonitusFXSurround.dll
SonitusFXWahwah.dll
 
on ..\Shared Midi Plugins
Arpeggiator.dll
ChordAnalyzer.dll
EchoDelay.dll
EventFilter.dll
Quantize.dll
Transpose.dll
Velocity.dll
 
on ..\Shared DXi\<various>:
GroovePlayer.dll
 
on ..\Shared Utilities:
CW120Auto.dll
NullProxy.dll
 
on ..\Shared Surface
MakieControl.dll
 
after this sequences, i get the following error:
PluginManager.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). CLick ok to close the application.
 
and then another identical from EndcoderConfig.exe - Application Error
 
after those two final errors, the installation is complete. But launching the application would result in the following error:
SONARPRO.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application.
 
==> I succesfully installed the 32bit version though, so it must be something related to the way the 64 version of regsrv32.exe is registering the dll.
 
Note: I also tried with safe-boot set on minimal. Same results.
I tried also to follow the suggestions related to the Visual C++ libraries.
 
When I try to run regsvr.32 myself, for any of the dll listed above, I get the following message:
RegSvr32
The module SonitusFXReverb.dll may not compatible with the version of Windows that you're running. Check if the module is compativle with an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of regsvr32.
 
Few last notes:
* I did everything as administrator and running as administrator
* I have Windows 8.1 64-bit, with several other applications built for 64 successfully registered.
 
Thank you again for ANY clue, hint, or help that could lead me to the right troubleshooting direction!
 
Cheers,

This thread is about X1. I may have missed it but I didn't see Platinum mentioned anywhere. So no CCC. Was X1 ever advertised as compatible with Win 8.1?

No, it's not X1. I am installing the latest: Sonar Professional. I thought it is the same problem, different version, and thought this thread to be relevant.
I can open another one for X3 though. I just thought I would have been pointed to this one.

So when you run the executable (.exe) directly, are you right clicking on the file icon and selecting 'Run as Administrator?'  Something is preventing the installer from updating the registry.
 
This is either a permissions thing, or your registry is hosed. 

Im trying to install Sonar Artist. I have a Win7 64bit desktop. And it will not install. Im gettting the same error as mentioned on this thread.
I did everything listed. I ran all my updates.
 
Any help would be great. I can not get this to work
thank

Yes I did all that.. Now when I try to launch Sonar I this error.  api-ms-win-appmodel-runtime-l1-1-0.dll 
needs to be reinstalled. 
I did a reinstall...and I still cant launch Sonar.
Not sure If I need to reinstall Win7 64 bit?
 
Im not sure how to get Sonare to Launch
