Sonar X1 (and 8.5.3) Error 1 "Sonar is not Installed..."
I have X1 and 8.5.3 installed. All of a sudden when I started X1 or 8.5.3 I get a message "Sonar is not installed. Please reinstall it using your original CD (Code=1).
I reinstalled 8.5.3 and it was still the same. I uninstalled 8.5.3 and then reinstalled 8.5, 8.5.1, 8.5.2 and finally 8.5.3 and I was still getting the same error.
On a whim, I clicked to start X1 as Administrator (I thought that was how I had it originally) and X1 came up and worked OK. I then started 8.5.3 as Administrator and it came up and worked OK too.
I have no idea how that got changed, but both are working OK again. The Sonar error message was very misleading.
