New X2 Install questions

I've upgrade from Sonar X1 expanded to X2 and I have some questions I'm hoping someone can answer. Any help is appreciated.
 
1) So what happened to the Expanded part? Is that part of X2? I never did understand what was the Expanded part of X1 so it's no biggie, just a 'new' X2 user question.
 
2) I had lots of trouble installing X2. I think most of it was because the install was getting ahead of itself. It took me 3 times to get it done right. Until I started leaving the task manager open I didn't know what was causing the problems I was having but it was always with the visual basic installation that was where most of the issues were coming from. I think what was causing that was because the install was still unpacking the bin files while I was running the install. I couldn't tell it was still unpacking bin files all that was being done in the background. This is on a new installation of Windows btw so I don't know if all the updates having not all come through yet might have been the problem. The only last issue was three or four dll's did not register. I was running the install as System Administrator, is it a bad thing those dll's didn't register? It did get completely through the install though.
 
3) I noticed in the My Store account there's no download links for x2 posted. I still have my receipts and files all backed up. But does the missing download link that with X2 we had better not lose our files?
 
There's two other programs, I think, a Rapture and Dimension that I have no idea what they are. Would be nice if the install included a wrapper of sorts like many other commercial offerings do that offers the install of each if you want them or not. I'm a little on the confused side what to do with these extras, I gather I don't need these programs but at the same time a wrapper would have made a lot of sense just so I didn't have to sort out what all these different files are. Not a biggie... 
 
Just asking, hope someone can help.

Thanks on that, I'm just not familiar with the new stuff, been using Cakewalk stuff for a long time but mostly I do midi and little of anything else. I did get Rapture and Dimension installed but I can't get Dimension to register for some reason. I'm putting in the right number the My Store gives me but it's saying it's invalid. There's a few other files left to do yet which look like expansion packs. Not much info given on them though. The thing is I'm afraid it's bloating my C drive with samples I could be putting on my E drive (I have a D drive for audio data). Anyway, thanks for the help, appreciated.

try to open the dimension pro icon (for registration) with right click...use as administrator... then your code will be ok.

Here are the installation instructions:

http://www.cakewalk.com/s...tion_instructions.aspx

At the bottom of that page are links to the contents of each installer. The following link goes to the installer contents of Producer which I'm assuming you have since you upgraded from Expanded:

Cheers.

EDIT: The second link refuses to paste the specific page for some reason so just scroll to the bottom of the first link and click on the installer content link for you version. It's all there. Cheers.

I just said "DAMN THE TORPEDOES!!" and installed it all. lulz

I'd have to double-check, but I think if you load a Kontakt 4 instrument into the Kontakt 5 player, the player will slip into demo mode and time out after a certain amount of time, asking you to activate it.

EDIT: Just checked and the player does time out and asks you to activate.
