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?

Flavio, can you list some of the specific DLLs that won't register? And the error codes regsvr32 returns when it fails?
 
There aren't that many files left in SONAR anymore that require registration (AFAIK just older DX instruments such as TTS-1 and Pentagon). 

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,

Are you running this install from the Command Center, or are you running it from copies of the installer files?
 
 

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?

Flavio mentioned Professional in his post. Are the DLLs listed from the installation itself or files that were copied/pasted from previous versions?

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.

Hi gcolbert,
Both actually. When I am in safe boot - minimal  I have to call the .exe file under Program Data/Cakewalk/Command Center/downloads, because the command center application won't run without internet.
Otherwise, in normal mode, I usually run it from the command center itself. It leads to the same behaviour.

Just to clarify, X3 is not Professional. It's kind of annoying but they haven't actually named the latest version. It's just "Sonar" now. Some people have gone with "2015". I admit it's pretty confusing. Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I'm on Win7 SP1 64-bit and didn't experience anything like this at all.

Thanks Sanderxpander.
 
I came to conclude that is must be something on my environment, combined with some sort of "fragility" on cakewalk installer. 
I still don't know what can this be, but I think has to do with something Windows is supposed to do and it is not properly doing (therefore is not strictly a cakewalk problem), but that is a fatal show-stopper only for cakewalk.


But it's all good: at least I am working with the x86 version. My stubbornness will prevail and one day I am confident I will have the x64 too.
 
Thanks,
/Flavio
