1) It only allows you to install to the C drive.  This is going to render my 'beefy' laptop with a 128mb SSD C drive and a 1TB D drive quickly unusable.
 
2) The background 'while you wait' functions don't work on my 4K TV/Monitor.  The videos are blown up so I only see a tiny corner of the upper left video.  Crazy....
 
Re. Sonar... I basically went to 4K to increase my Sonar real estate.  And then I find out Sonar does some weird pixel mapping with 4K and the real estate is even worse than in regular 1920X1080.  Someone tell me there's a fix for this!!!

If you choose to run the installation of any of the programs with the Verbose option checked you will get options per installer that you don't get from the default CCC settings. Like where to install programs.

Hey there,
 
I can help with your first problem:
Seems like Cakewalk uses the Windows standard installation path, which is usually C:\program file or c:\program files (x86).
 
Use regedit and navigate to this path:
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
 
There are two values: ProgramFilesDir and ProgramFilesDir (x86). There you can specify the installation path you wish.
 
But always keep in mind to have a current backup of you files and/or system state. Registry can be a b*** XD
 
Quick how to:
1. Hit your Windows key and type "regedit".
2. Right-click on regedit, shown in the search results, and select "Run as Administrator"
3. Navigate to the path shown above
4. Double-click on the item ProgramFilesDir change the value and hit OK. Do the same on ProgramFilesDir (x86).
5. Close regedit, done
 
Unfortunately it doesn´t have any effect on already installed software.
You therefore ahve to reinstall it.

Pretty sure you can change the download directory without hacking the registry. I placed my vst folder and cakewalk downloads into their own directory. Also you don't need to keep every download after a few updates.

Yes, there is an option in Cakewalk Command Center to change the directory for Download and VST but I think Ian is talking about the installation path.
 
Also, I thought it´s a good idea to change the programm installation path on his machine permanently, since there is not much space on his ssd at all. ;-)

Make sure you don't have display scaling enabled in Windows. . . I had an issue where Command Center was screwed up, the text was all too big and the movies were too big as well and it's because I had scaling enabled in Windows. 

For what its worth I am running Sonar on a 2560x1440 resolution screen and everthing is fine.

In CC click on option (Gear wheel icon) and then 'paths' option.
 
 {EDIT} oops, sorry, it seems it is not what you wanted

I run SONAR on a 4K display without any problems.
 
Don't let Windows "scale" the display to anything other 100%
