No need to install everything but you will need to run the X3 installer, after the serial number screen is the basic/advanced install option. Select the advanced install option. From the component checklist, deselect everything except Pentagon, if that is all you wish to install.
 
After installing Pentagon, if you prefer not to run SONAR as administrator and are comfortable editing the registry, change permissions on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\rgc:audio software\DXi\Pentagon I to allow Users Full Control.




first install attempt, I got an error saying it was unable to load Pentagon1 as an instrument in Platinum. I only installed Pentagon1 and cut short the pop-up box for some Microsoft thing that I guess X3 needs to run..can't remember the name, is that necessary for Pentagon1 to run in Platinum? Any other things to make it work in Platinum?...I've deleted the X3 install of Pentagon1 and will try again...


Just when I thought we may have found a loop hole in Steve's database.
He comes back with the correct answer...
 
He's right, you do need to run it as Administrator.
Is there anyone that can challenge this man and find one of his mistakes ?
I beg of you.

looks like it's already set for Administrator?
 

 
Tried again, same error...

The registry entry is and that is a problem if SONAR is NOT run as administrator. Either run SONAR as administrator or allow Users (the last group in the image above) Full Control.

Glad you got it all worked out. 
 
I'm not sure if someone has already posted these instructions but...
