YES- A progress bar would be very very nice!! 
The assistant update gives you zero feedback and I had to close and try again after 20 minutes of nothing happening. 
Second try worked right away and took 2 minutes. PITArse. 
Then I had to sign in AGAIN.. 3rd time. 
Then I click update for Cakewalk and once again,, is it doing anything?? OK a faded "downloading" is winking on and off for those with good eyesight. But one may ask...what is it downloading?? After 10 minutes it showed a green "Update" again?? I was busy typing this and when I looked again-- it's say's downloading again? what? Now I'm probably re downloading something I don't want.  Oh well I can afford the bandwidth right now, but there was a day when I had to be careful about my bandwidth usage. 
 
It's not a big deal but I can't think of any other software installers that are this candid about what is going on. 
 
Overall I'm in a good mood as this is excellent stuff and looking forward to an improved version. Bug fixes--bring em on,,, forget the fancy features, lets' get rid of every single bug first,, right on...Good job Noel, Ben and team. 

I agree about the progress bar.  I was getting a bit worried when it went more than 5 minutes in the install of the upgrade and no activity.  Overall I'm quite pleased with Cakewalk by Bandlab and I'm glad I finally downloaded and installed it.  An incredible amount of tools for free.

Well 11 hours have come and gone and I still have Cakewalk  24.04.0 
Possibly the server is overworked because its a new release and a million new users? 
The Assistant really need progress bars. It's now just showing in the option menu "checking" 
 
I tried shutting everything down etc. 

I guess I was fortunate as my update went well...

...but yes, I don't know why the progress bar was removed, but it's very uncomfortable waiting with no clue to status.

It is not automatically added to the Utilities menu. The Theme Editor is called using the Edit button on Preferences > Customization > Themes
 
It is possible to add it to the Utilities menu by editing the registry or using my SONARToolsEditor,  There is a link to the utility on the Sonar Resources and Utilities thread.

Ugh Ive not got the edit button showing, How do I get it. The update seemed to go ok. and other stuff is there just no edit button.
 

Did you install the Cakewalk theme editor? Its not added by default. You have to install it via "Install Add-ons.." from the dropdown in BandLab assistant next to the Install button.
