I updated my 32 bit win7 dev machine to Jamaica Plain last night.
Upon first launch I got a flurry of "corrupt image" dialog boxes one after the other for each of the effects that are shipped with Sonar, Blue tube stuff etc.
 
Each of the effect paths were s:\program files.......\effect name.dll
Where S: is our home NAS server which is a mapped drive.
 
This drive map has been connected and present for each of the updates since the first one.
This is the first time this happened.
 
The install path should have been c:\....
For the effects
 
The program runs fine after that episode with 30 or so error dialogs.
 
So.... yeah.
 
 

Can you give the exact error message, maybe post a screenshot?
 
The code for the VST scan has been optimized with latest release meaning we should not have to reset/rescan plugins any more, however we've seen quite a few plugin issues perhaps as a result of this new code (jury is out right now on how reliable the code is), I would recommend trying this anyway to see if any errors show up (we've had a few posts whereby a reset+rescan freezes the scan for instance):

If the behaviour can be reproduced it might be advisable to contact support or wait out and hope somebody from cakewalk visits this thread...
 

I PM'ed you with the jpg of it as we cant upload from our computers here. only from url afaik

I use http://postimage.org/
 
So here is what you PM'd me.
 

This is a 64 bit plug so it's not going to work on 32 bit Sonar.
You would do best to separate your 32 bit and 64 bit plugins into separate folders and scan paths, and only point Sonar to the 32 bit plugins.
 
Did this happen upon Jamaica update? If this is the case then previous versions of Sonar might have skipped over this, and that's no longer happening. Either way you need to do some housekeeping I suggest,
 
Cheers..

I updated from IPSwich to Jamaica mon.
 
We know what we're doing over here. CCC does it all for us anyway.
There is little chance we can mess it up.
 
Something went wrong with the installer. s:\... is also the wrong path.
 

And my CCC paths are all as they should be too.
 

You need to adjust CCC and Sonar (Edit -> Prefs -> VST Settings) to your actual file paths.
Then do some plugin housekeeping if necessary (split 32 bit folders from 64 bit folders), get Sonar to ignore 64 bit folders.
I've seen CCC reset the file paths every now and then (last time was about 4 releases ago).

Cheers..

Nope.
 
Nice avalanche of wild guesses again though.

bitman
Nope.
 
Nice avalanche of wild guesses again though.

No wild guesses here, you have a 32 bit application pointing to a 64 bit DLL and that's not going to work so you are going to need to sort it out and I've given you advise on how to do it.

I'm only trying to help, I even sorted out that image for you. If you are going to criticise me afterwards I suggest you come up with your own solution.

Cheers.

Are you employed by Cakewalk or Gibson?
