I believe the problem is the MIDI folder does not exist
Curious, scook (if you know): Is this a recent installer issue, or perhaps a deliberate shift away from that capability? The reason being: I don't recall 'hacking' any of my Cakewalk synth installations. I may have, but then again, I'm holding at X2, and have DAWs ranging from 8.5/XP 32 to Win8 64.
I do remember creating a ... /Wavetable folder to replace most of the PSYNII waveforms, but nothing for the more recent CakeSynths. I'll look into it myself some more, as it's been a while since I had to install any of them.
