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

No luck yet....

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

^^^^^^^^
What Meh said....    UAC can prevent entries from being written to the LOCAL_MACHINE area of the Windows registry.  You'll have to reboot after changing UAC, but can usually turn it back on (if needed) after installation is complete.
 
If you do have the DLL in place, you could also try manually registering it using a command prompt with admin rights.
 

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.

Thanks all for the info.  Bit I ignored the error as you suggested even though the installer said to roll back and it seems to be ok.   Thanks again for all the help.

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.
 

On a more helpful note, instead, let me add that I just found out that the 32bit version installs properly.
So now it remains to be understood what is making the 64bit version fails to register the dll's.
 
If I run regsvr32 manually, on any of the DLL for which I receive the pop up error from the Sonar installer, I get an error saying that the DLL doesn't seem to be compatible and that I should check that the DLL is indeed for 32 bit if it was supposed to be for the 32bit version or regsvr32, or 64 bit if it was run with the 64bit version of regsvr32.
I am running the 64 bit, because i am running from its location C:\Windows\System32\Regsvr32, which is the 64bit.
 
Any one any clue, it will be truly appreciated.
 
Cheers,
