Windows 7 x64 driver - control surface still inactive

Hi,
 
I installed the new Win-7 64 bit VS-100 driver but the control surface is still inoperative. Inside Sonar PE x64, I can add the VS-100 as a control surface, but the in and out port selections (VS-100 Control) in the control surface dialog do not retain the settings after the dialog is closed.
 
I also noted that the Stop button on the control surface lights up as Windows is booting - at the point that the USB bus is initialized - but it goes out again right before the Windows login screen appears. The control surface works fine on 32 bit Windows 7 using the Vista 32 bit drivers. I have no other control surfaces or midi devices connected, so it seesm to be a pretty simple arrangement. 
 
The control surface seems to work fine with 32 bit Sonar PE and the Win-7 64 bit driver loaded.
 
How is your x64 driver installation working?

    Still no control surface dll. It has a couple changes in the asio panel for the driver. Seems to work fine, but I haven't hammered on it. I just installed it to see if they had put support for the control surface in the package. Disappointed again.

    Hi n7zfi,

    An x64 Control Surface .dll is not officially available yet.

    Please contact tech support for assistance

    Sorry for the inconvenience,

    Just bought the V-100 yesterday.  Running Sonar 8.5 64-bit with Windows 7 64. Had no idea that there was no control Surface .dll...  The salesman at Guitar Center didn't know that small,,,  detail...  I would not have bought it...  Is there any work around?

    The only way I see to make the control surface work under Win-7 x64 is to install the 32 bit of Sonar in a side-by-side configuration and run the 32 bit Sonar. That seems to work fine for me. 

    Still, I sure would like to see a 64 bit driver.

    What does this actually mean, in terms of what works and what doesn't? What features are part of the "control surface"? I'm just about to buy a VS-100 on the basis that there's a Win7 64-bit driver for it, but if most of its functionality is broken, it's no use to me.

    Cheers,
    Martin

    Everything works in Win7 X64; audio interface, control surface, plugins, soft synths, etc. The VS-100 64-bit Control Surface plugin has been included in the free SONAR 8.5.2 update.

    Hi seth:
     
    I posed this question to you in another thread, but I think you missed it.  In the spring I bought Sonar   PE 8, in the summer I got the VS 100.  A few weeks ago I bought a new 64-bit Windows 7 PC.  My credit card and I are not currently on civil speaking terms. 
     
    For those VS 100 owners who are not currently in a position to update to 8.5, is there a 64-bit solution for VS 100 console?  Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem with my control surface not working. I have successfully installed the windows 7 driver- and have followed the instructions in the manual faithfully-- several times.  I've read throught this post and it seems that the issue has never been resolved. Hopefully, this thread gets put back into the limelight-  I really want this thing to work.
