Thanks Dave, i'll try that, I was wondering if it's a 32/64 bit issue. I'll post my results!

Hi all, fixed! I installed Sonar X1 32bit, loaded up Philharmonik, and it worked! So it is a 32/64 bit issue. Well, now I've got that fixed, I guess a little runaround I will have to use is, put down my strings in Philharmonik in 32bit Sonar, convert them to audio files, then import the audio files into Sonar 64 for the rest of my projects, what do people think?
 
Thanks Dave for the help!

Bump!

If it is fixed, why the bump? There are 32bit plug-ins that do not work in a 64bit host. When BitBridge does not work some use JBridge and get good results. Ultimately bridging tech is a temporary solution while the vendors update plug-ins to 64bit. Yes, that means that some plug-ins will get left behind. The only solution for using those plug-ins is the one you have already employed, using the 32bit host.

Bear in mind that, plugin issues aside, a project created in Sonar-32 can be opened in Sonar-64 and vice versa.  I get the impression that you believe otherwise.

I've been using Philharmonik since Sonar 7. I ran into the same problem when I purchesed X1. I'm now on X3 and I STILL havn't been able to fix the problem. But I know the responsibility of the problem is in IK media. No cakewalk. They've yet to make a 64 bit update.

Two people here have been able to get it working with a 64-bit OS, and one of them specified 64-bit Sonar with BitBridge, so it can work. If the reset and rescan doesn't work, check out the comments about where the DLLs and related files live

I had a similar problem in SONAR X3  on my end and the fix was very simple
( bear in mind this may be of absoluty no  help to you whatsoever ) 
it turns out that Philharmonic installed the dll's in a  X 86 VST folder that I didn't have SONAR set to scan ..
in my case the Philharmonic dll's  wound up in my SONY X 86 VST folder 
I knew something was up when I had the fully operational synth available in SONY Acid Pro...
once I pointed my SONAR plugin manager to scan  that folder and did a fresh scan everything worked out fine
it scanned my Philharmonic , Sampletron , and Sampletank ….
all are working fine  in SONAR X3 64 bit using the bit bridge
good luck I hope you sort it out ,

All my IK vst didn't not work well with X1/X2 64 bit. With X3 that improvs. It works 90% of the time. So when I compose with Miroslav I pretty much stick to 32 bit Sonar. I had preordered Sample Tank 3 (64 bit) in order for my Miroslov Philharmonic to work in 64 bit Sonar. Of cause ST3 has 30 Gigs of other sound and key switching for some Miroslav patches. 
 
Registered Miroslav and ST2 users can still preorder ST3 for 99USD before it's release in July.
 
 

I've got Philharmonic and SampleTank working in a 64 bit environment as well.
As Kenny noted, be sure the dll in in the scan path for Sonar.
I fought with SampleTank for a while. It would scan, and show up in the VST list, but I would get the "not properly installed message when I attempted to insert it. Turns out the problem was apparently related to UAC.
My solution:
Run the IK plug-ins as admin.
Find the SampleTank.exe file. I installed it to its default location, which was C: ProgramFiles(x86)/IK Multimedia/SampleTank 2.5.
Right click>Properties>Compatibility. Check the Run as Administrator box.
The dll is in Program Files(x86)/Cakewalk/Vstplugins.
I installed Philharmonic the same way, and both function normally.
