almost seems Replika has been abandoned, been so long since the broken 1.2.2 release

Agreed

I think that it works on other DAWs, so from NI's perspective, it's probably not abandoned, just 'finished'. It's possible (though I would have thought it unlikely) that the bug is in Sonar.

 
I finally got to bed at 3am this morning after getting around to installing Replika (gotten as a freebie).  At the start of my adventure NI's Service Center said it would update itself, then failed while at the same time destroying its uninstall database.  It then refused to install and Windows failed on uninstalling what was left of it including its entry in the installed programs list.  Took me a while to clean out the registry - only to then hit the 1.2.2 update problem which instantly crashed Sonar.  More time spent figuring out what was going on - trying in different versions of Sonar, uninstalling, reinstalling etc. etc.
 
I then had the idea to look here to see if anyone had encountered the same problem and see that I'm not alone.
 
It's a nice delay.
 

I just figured out that Replika was NI's freebie last Xmas. I haven't used it once, and it became really frustrating looking at that stupid v1.2.2 update in the NI Service Center with no way to hide it (across multiple sessions).
 
How to hide the update, so you never accidentally install it again?
 
Uninstall Replika. The update notice goes away! Happy again!

i actually like very much the Replika version that works 1.2.1.  it is often nowadays my go-to delay.  NI says they have "big things" planned for 2016 . . . maybe one of them is fixing their broken Replika

Meh... All NI plugs crash Adobe products (at least CS5.5) just from being scanned. The only "solution" is to blacklist them from the scanner so Adobe doesn't see them at all. This one is rather minor in comparison once you realize it exists. I never read the 1.2.2 release notes, but doubt it had any functionality other than "bug fixes" over 1.2.1.

Replika 1.3 now available... who's going first?!

I installed 1.3, inserted it in a project, and it did not crash. So it works on my system.
All the best.

Good to know! I reinstalled the 2104 Xmas Gift v1.2.1, then ran the update. v1.3 works just dandy. Nice little delay. Thanks for the heads-up!
 
Edit: Perhaps the OP can update the Subject to note the v1.3 working release.

Replika 1.3 Update Info:
 
WHAT'S NEW?
* Fixed crashes in Ableton Live 9
* Fixed crashes in Cakewalk Sonar
