I recently upgraded to Sonar X2 and got the free DSF Symphonic Strings HD download with it. I downloaded the ZIP from my account page and extracted everything. The first problem I encountered with the installer was that it won't let me select a hard drive to install to, but I decided to just free up enough space on my C drive and try to fix it later with registry settings and whatnot. However, when I do the install now, it zips through it in less than a second and claims that it's complete. But I'm pretty sure it didn't actually do anything. I can't find the files installed anywhere and I can't find the instrument in Sonar. (And none of my hard drives have lost a few gigs either...)
There does seem to be a filename that briefly flashes by, as if something is being installed, but it's so quick I can't even read it.
The only odd thing that I can remember doing was, before I freed up enough space on my C drive, I once clicked through the disk space warning anyway just to see what would happen (I thought maybe it would allow me to choose a drive afterward). And then it did the thing where it appeared to install very briefly. But even after freeing up space it does the same thing. Is it possible that I tricked it into thinking it installed, so now it won't try to do it again?
This is on Windows 8 Release Preview, which I realize is probably not officially supported, but I was hoping someone might be able to figure something out.
