  • [Solved] Cannot figure out how to install Platinum 32 bit on my 64 computer

Command Center installed Platinum 64 bit on my computer with Windows 7 OS. At some point I will probably want to go to that but.... right now, I'm fine with 32 bit so I can have access to all my old 32 bit plugins etc.
Problem is, I cannot figure out for the life of me how to force a Platinum 32 bit install.
Can someone please tell me how to do this?

Log into your account @ cakewalk store and you can download and run the 32bit installer manually.

I can't find where the 32 bit installer is. It shows my 64 bit install in Connected Products but, if I try to reinstall, I'm not finding any way to force a 32 bit install. I must be missing something here! Where do I need to be looking for it?

You don't need to download it again goto Programdata\cakewalk\command center\download\ and run Sonar plat setup.

John, I tried that but, I do not find that path on my computer at all.

Check your folder view settings in control panel - under the view tab select show hidden files.
 
Good call John:)

I think we are forgetting to tell the gentleman the most important part. Sonar 64bit has bit-bridge which will allow him to use his 32bit plug-ins. Just point Sonar to the folder on your computer. The 32bit plugs will be tagged with same.

You are absolutely right Tino Red, if in fact Rod is not already aware of that. However his question was how to install Sonar 32 alongside 64 . I for one have never been a fan of bit-bridge or j-bridge. Until I updated all of my plugins to 64bit, I found that running 32bit Sonar under Win7 x64 was much more stable than running 64bit Sonar with bridged 32 bit plugins, particularly with complex projects. The separate window focus of the 32bit plugins in bit-bridge was also terribly annoying.

There is no bridge for 32bit DirectX plug-ins. Opening older projects dependent on those plug-ins requires a 32bit host.
