Have you done a VST Reset BEFORE doing a Rescan?

Sylent,

I installed Platinum and all the extras "manually". I did not use CC as I wanted to install the lot on another Drive ( D: ). 
 
Once done I found I was missing REmatrix-Solo. I went via Windows Explorer to "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal\REmatrix Solo" - Just to make sure it was there - yes it was. I then added "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\" to the VST Scan Paths in case their was other stuff under the cakewalk folder as well as REmatrix Solo. 
 
Launched Platinum and after a scan it came up in the ProChannel Strip under + ..

Maybe it would be worth uninstalling the lot. BUT also go into the Registry and manually search for / remove anything with Sonar and Cakewalk. Then reinstall the lot. I did this as a matter of form anyway because  I wanted to get rid of any sign of X3.
 
Also make sure you clear out stuff you dont want in ProgramData\Cakewalk. And any old stuff you dont want in Cakewalk Shared Components folder etc.
 
BTW - their is also a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\" folder ..
 
Sonar installs itself all over the place :D

Yes I tried that after the first rescan failed.
It throws an error for it, both 64 version, twice. ... regardless of disable.
My first thought was a dupe link in registry.
But I couldn't find a second copy on the system, or in the registry.
 
Thank you for taking the time to reply!

Yes it does install in a scattered formation... while searching afterwards, I found one folder on the studio floor behind the drums! lmao
 
Seriously though, I was trying to avoid uninstalling the previous sonar versions, but think that may be the next step, like it or not.
At least that would scrub the reg better.
 
From what I see I went through the same motions you did, the only difference was after finding the "shared utilities" path on C and adding it to the VST scan path was that it gave me an actual error.
Thats when I uninstalled and reinstalled Platinum, but not X3 or X2 .... simply having the rollback option or having the "missing from platinum" add-ons made me decide to hold off because X3 still started etc.
I do have those setup files, if I decide it's worth it to put it back on.
 
I think this afternoon after my meeting I'll remove it all, go through the registry again, and rebuild the mountain.
I felt it was just some little glitch, or something silly I over looked in the folders, but it still sounds like a registry issue .... making a total clean out my best remaining option, previous versions included, working or not.
 
Thank you greatly aidanodr.... I really appreciate your assistance!!!
 
 
 
 

Recanning does not clear the VST inventory in the registry; reset does. Here is a description of the process for X3. It is the same in Platinum http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013315/SONAR-X3-Full-VST-Rescan-Recommended-for-Upgraders
 

Yes sir, I did try to reset them.
Before then there was no error given... I didn't notice it was missing until day 2 when I went to check-out how REmatrix sounded.
It ran great, then when I noticed it missing I reset, checked paths etc., then got errors when scanned.
 
Thanks scook!

I am not sure what "Custom/Manual install" means in the initial post. Also it is not clear what errors, the scanner is displaying.

Meaning I downloaded the files and installed without Command Center to save my SSD space on "C:/"
 
After the reset, it gives an error when scanned that REmatrix didn't install correctly, and advises to disable.
It cites the problem is in the "main call" function I think I remember it said.
 
I'm doing a complete uninstall now, and will clean-up and rebuild from X2 or X3 and see what she does.
 
Thanks
 

Uninstalled and reinstalled from X2 up to Platinum and the error continues, twice during each scan I get the error for the same 64 version of REmatrix solo. ugh!
 

I think this warrants a call to tech support.  I think the forum has exhausted all the usual fixes for these type of situations.
