I've run Rapture install twice. It asks if I want 64 bit & I say yes
I have Rapture, Rapture LE and Rapture LE 64 on my computer, but no Rapture 64
So it's not even installing
I have an "old" but no new

Thanks for the update Ryan.  Renaming Dimension Pro in the registry and re-installing Rapture finally worked for me.  For some reason several patches in my Rapture expansion packs now have missing wavetables after the 1.22 update, but once I re-install those I should be good to go.

Ryan, add me to the list as well. I can see Rapture64LE but not a Rapture64. Grayed out Serial Number, and registering online the feedback message is that it's already registered. Looking forward to the patch on this soon!

I was having the same problem (Dimension Pro warning, Rapture install never started) and tried the workaround. It worked for me. These tips might help:

1) Check both your 64 bit and 32 bit registry entries. It turns out I had "Dimension Pro" for 32 bit and "Dimension", "Dimension LE", and "Dimension Pro" all for 64 bit. I had to rename all of them in order to get the installed to proceed past the Dimension Pro warning.

2) If for some reason you get the Dimension Pro warning, or need to abort the installation, you can save some time by immediately going to your windows temp directory, finding the Sonar X2 folder, and then copying the unpacked setup files to a temporary location. Do this before the installer terminates, since it will clean itself up. If you copy the temporary setup files files, you can run the setup directly via setup.exe, and not have to run the unpacking installers.

3) Once the Rapture installer is done, run the Rapture app standalone as administrator; this will let you enter your registration code

The workaround only takes a few minutes.  The longest part of it is waiting for the setup files to extract from the big downloaded .exe files. 

If Cakewalk replaces their downloads with new ones, it will take much longer to download the new versions than to do the registry hacks.

If Cakewalk instead provides downloadable "before install" and "after install" registry tweakers (which is the messier approach in the long run), it won't take long to download them, but they will basically do the same thing that you can do manually.  And you will have to wait for them to create, test, and publish those fixes.

If Cakewalk instead creates a new standalone Rapture installer, it will take a while to download, and is somewhat redundant with your installation packages, so if you like to hang onto install files you'll end up with redundancy.  I don't think they'll take this approach unless they already have standalone Rapture installers ready to go which they can make sure will only be used by Sonar X2 (or previous Rapture) owners. 

My advice is not to wait, but to instead try the workaround.  If it works, great.  If it doesn't, post your problem here so that they/we can make the workaround more robust.

Hi guys,
had the same issues like you installing rapture.
Beside the hinds of you I managed to install rapture 64
by lower the setting of the UAC ( User Account Control) . 
On this system (lap-top Win 7 64)windows didn´t acccept me
as administrator.
Don´t know if it helps.....

the first time i ran download i got a error message dem pro has stop because need update  tryed update forget it many hours in this with many downloads can we have just have a download for rapture and be done with it thanks cakewalk team for all your hard work eric

Quibb that's Damn good information to know!!

Thanks!!

Great idea about the patch name in the trk notes!!

Same problem here, Rapture full version will not install.
It appears the apprentice "baker" charged with creating the Rapture installer cut a few corners and tweaked the Dim Pro installer instead of creating a new one for Rapture. Sloppy coding. As a programmer for 30 some years, I know no one likes writing install scripts. However, re-using another installer rarely works out as planned. Is it too much to ask, to have the bakers create a new installer from scratch? This blunder has to have cost Cake much more than they saved. To say nothing of the wasted time and frustration we users had to endure.

Eureka! I got around to following the instructions in this thread about the regedit fix and the registration instructions and... drum roll,PLEASE,........IT WORKED!!! I was very apprehensive about messing with the registry but I must say-it went flawlessly! Thank all of you guys for your diligence in figuring this quagmire out. I don't use synths like Rapture very much, but that stance may change. Thanks, again, fellas!
P.S.-For those who don't know, if your registration area is blocked out in Rapture, right click on the icon and click, Run as administrator. That will clear the area to type in your reg number!

I had only one issue on my X2 Producer installation - after the install Rapture 1.2.2 did not accept the registration code provided. After reading through the forum and getting some insight, I did the following and it worked fine thereafter: 1. I reinstalled Rapture 1.2 from my original set of files from X1 and used my previous Rapture serial number. 2. I applied the Rapture 1.2.2 update available on the Cakewalk site. Now everything works fine, I'm just using my previous Rapture serial number and reg code, rather than the new one that came with X2. It took just a couple minutes to install and I didn't need to hunt through the registry to do anything.

I came to the same conclusion last night.  I went a little further and deleted any rapture folders I could find and also ran a registry cleaner.  Everything seems to be working fine now after installing 1.2.1 and then 1.2.2.  I did have to install the rapture expansion packs again, but that was no big deal.  Finally I can try the new changes in X2.

Follow the directions in lorneyb2's post on page 4 of this thread. It's the 4th post from the top. I get really nervous messing around in the registry but this fix worked like butter for me! I pulled up the registry editor, located the two folders mentioned, changed the names on them, then I minimized the folder so it was still open. I then re-ran the setup and checked only Rapture Vsti to install. Lo, and behold, the Rapture install page came up. I completed the installation! The page came up to register and the registration number area was greyed out! Don't worry yet! Fill in the serial number. Mine said I was not running as administrator. Close the installation after completed. Maximize the editor and change the DP folders back to the original names. Close the editor. Locate the icons for the stand alone versions of Rapture. Right click and choose run as administrator. When Rapture opens you will get the registration page. Fill in the reg number and you are good to go!! I was amazed that such a small fix solved such a big problem! BE FOREWARNED, messing around with the registry is a dandgerous matter! I was afraid messing around in there, but if you do exactly as lorenby2 says, it did work for me. If you aren't comfortable making this edit, find a friend or family member that is computer savvy and have them do it. I highlighted the area in the post and copied and pasted it in to Word. I then printed it out and underlined the info I needed to pay special attention to. That way I had the instructions right in front of me the whole time. Good luck! 

I uninstalled X1 and X2 using Revo uninstaller which goes deep into the restry and eloiminates all folders and traces of every installation. reinstalled X2 64 the latest Dimension 1.5 Rapture and everything works fine

Now if i can only get a clip to open in Sound Forge......Grrrrrrr.

I edited the regsistry to open SF from the pull down in Sonar but the clip does not follow....

Except my account lists the disks as "out of serial #'s"
Hmmmmm......

well, I unchecked everything but Rapture on the install from the disks, and I got the wrong version of DimPro message
It didn't screw up Dimpro (thankfully) and it did not install Rapture 64
So I'm off the customer service as soon as I can find the time to spend a half day fixing this
