35mm

Just had to learn my lesson (once more).
Pulled the Trigger as the Reviews were good. Just downloaded and wanted to install.
But i realized after some klicks, that it is obvious not possible to change the Installation path.  I thought "Is this a joke?" and tried again, but I found no Options. Now I know why I should have Chosen at first the demo.
 
Sorry, but no matter what this Software is able to do, not beeing able to choose another installation path then "c:\program files" is ridiculous. Please tell me I overlooked someting, but if this true, the Software will go to the trash.
 
Please tell me I am wrong with this :-)

It takes up 15MB of disk space! If that is too much for you then just move it to another drive and point a sym link at it.

Excellent suggestion!  But 15 MBs shouldn't be an issue on modern computers.  Disk drives are cheap today, too!

 Have you tried their support forum yet?

 


I have, and they seemed to confirm it is a bug of some kind. Their support folks could replicate the issue. The latest post says they have made a change to deal with the issue and will make the updated release available today.

Good to know, thanks!

Yeah, I was pretty pleased at the fast response and resolution. I emailed their support folks last night, and got a response this morning before I even started work. 
 
This is great software -- I find Overture 5 really intuitive, with a fast workflow. So it's nice to know they are aggressive in supporting it.

15Mb is not the Point. What is the Problem to ask for configurable Installation Folder like every Software is able to deliver ? I dont understand how this issue can be accepted by anyone.
 
Nowadays it is not acceptable to hardlink "c:\program files"
This was not valid 20 years ago also.
 
I guess the one or other Person might think the same way.
 
Peace :-)
 
 
 

Any news on the official end of this promotion? Midnight tonight? Kinda hoping for an extension as I am demo-ing multiple things at this point and deciding where to put my limited dinero for the month. I like the look of it so far but I'm trying to gauge what I "need" the most, or the least-not-desperately, as it were...

I have my original Cakewalk Overture 2 disc which has the cd key on the back but I forgot the s/n and can not load it onto my virtual machine without the s/n or a whole new set of numbers. How can I fix this I really liked Overture 2 and don’t have the money to buy a newer version....

Have you logged into your CW online account (under "My Products") to see if it's listed there?  It's a long shot with  older products -- but hey, you might get lucky.

Yes it was not there

Since Cakewalk went out of business last year, you may want to contact Don at Overture to see if he will accommodate you with a crossgrade deal.  His original Cakewalk crossgrade offer has been expired for quite a while, but you may be able to work something out as a former Overture user.
