Trying to upload to Soundcloud

As I am currently mixing a Project and appriciates feedback from the other musicians. Sonar X3d says that it's unable to do so.
I get a window that 1st says after exporting is done:
"Unable to launch "Soundcloud - xxx" Encoder"
doesn't matter if flac, wav or mp3 and then says
"Warning: the external encoder returned an error code. The file may not have been encoded properly."

Have tried to check firewall and found nothing. Am lost here.
Works of course fine to bonce to wav and go upload that but would be nice if sonar worked as expected.

Thank you, no problem uploading directly to Soundcloud. Just don't work from within Sonar X3d?

I'm not up to date, but isn't it a fact that Sonar does not include MP3 encoding, That you have to manually install it. The reasons given is it avoids licencing that would add to the cost. 
I use Wave Lab and it was the same thing, The earlier version had unlimited encoding but the new version only allowed 10 songs. 
I downloaded the Lame codex but haven't figured out how to get it in the system. I just fire up my XP desktop and do it there. I have to do this anyhow as my DAW is not on the internet. You'll find that soundcloud converts your song to 160 KBPS. I uploaded a 190 and then downloaded it and I noticed this. 
 
PS - Chrisland do you know we have a song forum here ? Excellent way to work through your new born creations with a peer group.

OK - I was successful in uploading a sloppily-played snippet of an idea I just wanted to capture before forgetting, so please ignore the playing.
 
I DID look up things in the Sonar documentation, and it indicates that if you are trying to upload multiple audio tracks, that you have to do it from the Sound Cloud web site.
 
Here is the link to the Sonar doc page:

Please note that while the upload itself was successful, when I go to the actual Sound Cloud clip's page to play it back, it says it is processing the sound.  The uploaded file is maybe 1 or 2 minutes of audio max, so I hope this doesn't indicate a problem.  I will post back when it finishes, one way or the other.
 
Oh - here is the link to the test clip I shared directly from Sonar X3:

An update - when I went to the clip I shared to Sound Cloud from Sonar, it was just sitting there, saying the track was being processed, with a timer incrementing - it had gotten up to 8 minutes.
 
On a hunch, I did a page refresh, and lo and behold, it had been done, and played back just fine.  I think that particular issue is a Sound Cloud issue, not related to exporting to Sound Cloud from Sonar, but I thought I would mention it, as it did occur.
 
Also, upon playback, the audio track starts out with the drums, but then the drums drop out, instead of playing under the keyboard tracks, like they were supposed to.  Then, after the keyboards stop playing, the drums come back in.
 
THAT is a giant mess - and I will be exploring this, to see what in the world made that giant puddle of pooh.

I've bought the mp3-encoder so that should not be the problem. I'm going to try to Bounce one track only and upload it to soundcloud instead of mutiple tracks.
 
Tried to upload just one track from within Sonar, no go, tried to Bounce the song and import it to a "test" projekt and upload from there, did not work. Wav and mp3 or flac doesn't matter? Really strange.
 
Could be some other problem with my PC as I occasionally is asked to revert to Classic Soundcloud as the new version of Soundcloud does not work.

Thanks for the link. I'll give it a go. Also I'll see about the higher bit rate. Didn't seem to matter as my re downloads when A/B'd sound OK. I'm following the new rules for mastering for MP3 and I try not to go past -.6 Db. 

@chrisland - it is important that you understand that logging in to a user that has administrative privileges is NOT the same as running an install or a program with the setting Run As Administrator.  These ARE 2 different things.
 
Even when you log on to a user that is an administrator, program execution has a reduced set of privileges.  This is how they designed and built Windows.
 
To TRULY execute programs, (even installers), with elevated privileges, you MUST explicitly set the option Run As Administrator.  If this is not done, then some things may not get done properly.
 
There are a couple of ways to set the Run As Administrator option.
 
1.  Right-click on the program icon or executable file, then click on Run As Administrator.  This method will set the option for only this execution instance.
 
2.  Right-click on the program icon or executable file, then click on Properties, then click on Advanced, then check the box for Run As Administrator and click OK, then back on the Properties dialog window, click Apply, then click OK.

I am sorry - perhaps I did not understand your earlier post,  - so you are saying that you EXPLICITLY use Run As Administrator to launch Sonar, AND that you explicitly used Run As Administrator to install Sonar?
 
Because logging in to Windows with an Admin user type is most definitely NOT the same as using Run As Administrator.  2 different things, that give you 2 DIFFERENT sets of execution privileges.
 
Please forgive my insistence at getting this point exactly correct, just trying to get it precisely determined.

Thanks for clarifying - Yeah, I do not know what else to suggest.
 
Do you need the steps to remove Sonar - including the registry keys and hidden data and such?

Thank you for your help! I Think I can manage the removal wihtout problems. I am going to reinstall after I've finished the Project I'm working on now. If I need any help I will let you know.
Thank you again! :-)
