We need a little more to go on.
Is it listed in your synths?
If so, when you try to "Insert Synth" what happens?
We are here to help.

Thanks a lot!
 
When I go to Insert > Soft Synths there appears only PSYN II and DropZone which I have no idea what is that for. Then I go to Tools > Cakewalk plug in manager > VST Instruments only DropZone appears. I try and click scan and still only DropZone appears. I also tried to import it and when I go to the folder which EZDrummer 2 is installed nothing appears. Am I doing something wrong? How to install it correctly? I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I will put some pictures too.

It only appears DropZone.
 

Here I try to add it and it says it is there but when I click OK it is the same as the first picture.
 
What should I do?

Are you using the 64-bit EZD2? Are you sure that the DLL for that synth is in that directory you are pointing to? Try uninstallg EZD2 and using the cakewak folder as the VST DLL library on the install.
 
Make sure that there is no 64-bit installed somewhere else on the computer like the 'Program Files' 64-bit program directory. Some reason, the EZD2 DLL can't be found. Do a search for it on the compoluter and add that folder to the plugin manager. see if that help. That is about all I can think of.

I haven't answered in over a month and I apologize for it... 
 
I have done what you said and it still doesn't work. I think I will just give up...

Don't give up, we can help you.
First some information for you about posting pictures.
To stop spam the forum software won't allow you to post pictures until you have made 25 posts so we can't see any pictures.
You can't paste a picture only the link to a picture so it must be hosted somewhere else, for example Photobucket or some such picture hosting service. Create a link and then paste the link into your post.

In the meantime I just want to check that you have Sonar's VST scanner looking at the folder where the EzDrummer.dll is located. The scanning paths can be set in 2 locations. Preferences>VST settings or in the Plugin Manager under Options.
Are you a novice user unfamiliar with Sonar or is the whole audio recording process foreign to you. Just so we know how to approach helping you.

What audio interface do you have? What is your operating system etc. if you have a look you'll notice that many users have a brief list of their computer and audio specifications in their signature. See my signature.

Okay, thank you for your answer. I will start again:
 
I currently have Windoes 7 Home Premium and it's a 64-bit OS. The audio interface I use is just a Boss ME-25 which is a multieffects guitar pedal. I have Sonar LE 8.5 which came with this pedal. Something weird that happens is that when I open Sonar LE, there's like this window that pops up that shows what is ''scanning'' and I see the EZdrummer.dll thing there. I will post pictures of everything. 
 
Here's when it is scanning:
