Bakers... from the posts above it seems to me that this would be a great sticky titled hiding and unhiding products. You might rewrite it and add how to hide, which I am sure is a no brainer to most people but I would add it and where to find the XML files. Unless you can write a small program that will do this procedure and unhide with a button or something in CCC. That would be ideal! (I took the liberty of changing the word programme to program), Maybe this should be a feature request.
 
From Kamikaze:
 
Anyone trying this, you have to have Show hidden folders shown in you windows option. This is a fairly new laptop and I hadn't got round to setting that yet.
 
There seems to be an XML file for each Program in Command Centre
AD2
Sonar
D-Pro
Rapture
Melodyne
 
Looking through the States of the various files there are the following options.
HiddenNotInstalled
HiddenInstalled
Installed
NotDownloaded
 
So in typing this I've actually  answered the question I was going to ask. You simply remove the word 'Hidden', not the whole entry for the State so 'HiddenNotInstalled' would become 'NotInstalled'.

I added that t the CCC 1.1 thread, maybe they will write some code and add a button or two or at least write a sticky or maybe with 1.1 it wont be an issue anymore.
Kudos to Lance and Kamikaze!

I clicked this PDF link and thought I'd try to find where it is on the Cakewalk website but I can't seem to find it. For future releases, where is this on the website? http://static.cakewalk.com.s3.amazonaws.com/cakewalk/products/sonar/release_notes/Welcome_to_the_SONAR_Foxboro_Update.pdf 
 
Thanks, J

I believe they are all on the "Rolling Updates" page. The link is in the menu on the main SONAR page http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Rolling-Updates
 
There are also knowledge base articles found in the support by product http://www.cakewalk.com/S...oduct/SONAR%20Platinum

I have a   fast download speed  of 40mb but the new updates are so slow. Where is this hosted and what bandwidth is available?

Good deal man. I was glad to find it for sure. Yep, I haven't been here in a long time but I am the same ole Lance haha. I love helping out and I have a problem of not being able to let go when there is something to solve.
 
It makes total sense that one could go into the code and find a simple command to unhide stuff but I don't do code. When told where it is and what to remove, I have no issues with that haha.
 
Now the fact that the stuff turns red when it is already installed is absolutely unacceptable and looks completely amateur. Period. Those are NOt harsh words. Those are truth. It looks "Jimmy Rigged".
 
Same with the platinum prochannel pack jsts having an error right when I hit install, getting no where, not even into the install process.
 
Furthermore with hiding stuff and then having to *****n change commands (iuf you are knowledgeable enough to know you have to right click and open the document with something like notepad) to see your product again.
 
Not acceptable. I'm a well established tech head, years of experience/troubleshooting from DAW computers to servers for hospitals, not a novice trying to figure out how to upgrade the processor in a laptop by banging on it 
like a monkey and buying a hard drive thinking its a zip drive.
 
Fix it. No please. No thank you's. Make it right Cakewalk. I have years with you guys and I love the Bakers and SONAR but this **** is getting old. I can run Ableton Live and have next to no issues for years now but I like SONAR better for obvious reasons even though my peers around me all use Ableton Live or Pro Tools like DJ Poet, Steve Duda, Wil.i.am, etc. and they see how sick my rig is when they work with me on projects but their ish doesn't have the bugs that SONAR does and the awkward problems all the time, subtle things but just really annoying. -I dont want to leave SONAR. I want you to fix SONAR so I can stay because I love the program. PLEEEEEEASE
 
Cheers,
 
Lance
 

I can understand your frustration, but in my short time here, I have found that most problems encountered are things that can't be foreseen. Since many of us have had no issues with the upgrades, it would seem to me it's your system that is different. In what way, I cannot say. But software as intricately timed as a DAW needs a good solid platform.
 
As a stupid young man, I towed a 1963 Chevy pickup from SDAK to CA with a VW Rabbit.... It got the job done(we survived!) but I certainly wasn't gonna go complain to VW about it's lack of towing power, or electronic brake.
 
Yes, I know the truck weighed more than the VW. It was only a problem going down hill, and the side wind in Wyoming......

This is because the CCC doesn't know about stuff it didn't install. The reason for the long Foxboro update where you basically need to download everything is for compatibility with the next CCC, which supposedly will be aware of previously installed elements.
 
As to stability issues, something as simple as overclocking or an outdated graphics driver can wreak havoc...not saying that's the issue, but overall, SONAR has been extremely stable for me since Platinum hit. But it required some work on the rest of my system to get there. As just one example, I was shocked how much matters improved when I removed the HD Audio codec my graphics card driver package installed. Once that was gone, it was like I had a different computer.

Those audio things have a nasty habit of popping up again, but maybe that is due to having 2 new WIN 10 updates in the last few days....I told it to update other than MS stuff as well so it had files for my audio both Realtek and HDMI, but couldn't install them as they were disabled. So my WIn 10 update showed failed. So when 158 was ready, I unchecked the box, and the update installed, but added those dang drivers. 159 came along so quick I didn't change it back so they got installed AGAIN. I now have them disabled AND uninstalled. I also put a note inside so the electrons will know what to do.

I'm loving Sonar more and more! This monthly update concept is quite the best thing ever!
