Thanks Bill. It's not really an issue since the right VST paths are used now. In the past I always had to change this manually.
By the way, the windows download for CCC isn't working

The update for SONAR 2016.09 is not downloading or the Updated version of Command Center 1.1.7.1 is not downloading?

The CCC installer located at https://www.cakewalk.com/Command-Center

There is a change I dislike in the plugin browser, but I'm unsure if its a bug.
 
I don't use any of the "Sort By" options, instead organising plugins in my own folder structure on disk. My waves plugins now sit in the root of the VST3 folder, mixed with other folders. Previously we would see a "waves" folder named after the plugin dll.

I still use manual download and install, I only need platinum and core plugins exes for 2016.09 right?

And help documentation if you use local documentation.
 

Local help documentation update isn't shown, I.e., it doesn't appear to updated yet?

Thanks to Team Cakewalk.  Worth a Bakers Dozen!

Load balancing is awesome! I had a big project and most of it was on the first core, and now all eight are being used evenly. Thanks Cake team!

The manual installer no longer allows you to change any paths. The VST plugins are always pointing to the wrong directories
 
CORRECTION: This installer actually selects the correct VST paths now (the others didn't in the past), but none of the paths in the installer can be changed (all greyed out)

Any program folders that have been pre-defined during a previous install will be grayed out. This is by design. When you're installing SONAR over an existing install it's basically in "update mode." That way you can't accidentally install SONAR into multiple places on your system.
 
If you want SONAR installed to a different location, you'll need to uninstall, then reinstall using the latest release. During that reinstall, all relevant paths should be customizable. Let me know if you have any questions about that.
 
Thanks! 

Bill (and Craig) - on a previous release there was a dialogue about visiting the eZine to find out what pieces you need to download if you install through the manual installer.  Interestingly, in that dialogue there were quite a few comments, along with mine, that we didn't know how to find the eZine.  I learned that it's a tiny link in the Rolling Updates section.  So, since I wanted to know what pieces I need to ensure I include for this release's manual installer set of installers, I went to the eZine in the Rolling Updates for this release.  I know where to find the eZine now, even though the link is practically unnoticeable.  But, I found it and opened the eZine.  I went to the section on what to install.  Nothing mentioned for the manual install files in this eZine.  I would like to suggest that the bakers and Craig become more aware of the need for including this information from the next eZine forward.
 
Thanks for the update.  Sure wish there was more info on how to manually install it.

Since the August release my Sonar Platinum crashes everytime I use the "open project" or "the plugin manager" functions....the Windows browser opens and then after few seconds Sonar crashes....it's sooooo disappointing.
I thought this was fixed in the September release....but no way...
Now I have to use an old 32bit version of Sonar Platinum
I am really really disappointed...sorry

The Ezine is a lot harder to find than it should be! I finally realized there is a link to it in the email cake sends when the update is released, HOWEVER, I just noticed when I get to the Ezine this way that the links in the Ezine don't work - particularly the audio from the anatomy of a cakewalk project feature where supposedly we could hear the project of a 30 second commercial someone made with Sonar.
