Unable to register DLL/OCX - x1 Essential install problem

Hello to everyone!

This is my first post on this forum.
The threads were really helpful for me in the past.

I've been using x1 on my desktop for about 6 months and all's been good.

But now I'd like to use it if possible (on the move) on my wee samsung n150 netbook
win 7 ultimate sp1 - 2gb ram - intel atom n450 1.6GHz
(I saw x1 running reasonably well on a netbook with the same cpu)

In any event, I don't know yet how well the program performs on this computer cos the problem is with the install...

Setup goes well til the very end.
Then the installer is unable to register a bunch of files (.dll and .ax binaries)

The errors all read:
"Unable to register DLL/OCX: regsvr32 failed exit code 0x3"

By selecting IGNORE rather than ABORT i've made a list of the 31 files that won't register.
I thought it might be a bit long to print all 31 here? 

Here's the first few: 

C:\Program Files\Cakewalk...


...\Shared Surfaces\VS700.dll

...\SONAR X1 Essential\Stretch.ax

...\Shared DXi\Groove Player\GroovePlayer.dll

...\Shared Plugins\DeWire.dll

...\Shared Utilities\cw90auto.dll

...\Shared Utilities\NullProxy.dll


Any help will be hugely appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Hey 57Gregy, thanks for your response.

It's a 32 bit Windows 7 OS.  and it's a recent OS install (about one month)

Could it be other software causing the issue?
Haven't got any other large applications on the computer.

Here's the full log I made of the Unable to register files
All 31 files listed (if it might help).

Each time the same Error:

Unable to register DLL/OCX: regsvr32 failed exit code 0x3



All file paths starting:

JUST GO TO CONTROL PANEL AND UNINSTALL MICROSOFT VISUAL C++  2010 10.0.40219 BOTH X86 & X64 (OR WHICH EVER VERSION THE INSTALLER IS TRYING TO INSTALL_ LOOK AT THE INSTALLATION DATES TO FIND OUT IN " ADD REMOOVE PROGRAMS"). THEN INSTALL MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 2010 10.0.30319 FROM MICROSFT, BOTH X86 AND X64 (just google it).  THEN RUN THE INSTALLER AGAIN AS ADMIN. THIS IS. I HAD THE SAME EXACTLY PROMBLEM AND SOLVED IT THIS WAY. IT TOOK ME 4 DAYS TO REALIZE THE PROBLEM.

Welcome to the forum.
Is the netbook running a 64-bit OS?
DX won't work in 64-bit, which might be why they fail to be registered.
If that's the case, try loading the 32-bit version of X1.

It is the incorrect to say that DX won't work in x64. The truth is there is no bridge from 32 to 64 bit as there is for VSTs but many of Sonars DX plugins have been ported to 64 bit and work just fine. Also Sonar has many DX plugins that have been ported to x64 for use in Vegas which has been 64 bit since version 12.
