I am trying to install the x2a patch and I get the following error message:

"C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\CW100Auto.dll

Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 fai8led with exit code 0x3.

Click Retry to try again. Ignore to proceed anyway (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation."

Retry does not work and the same error appears, Ignore leads to further errors and after the installation is complete I cannot run X2 as the following error appears:

"The program can't start because mfc110u.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I am running the 64 bit version of X2 Producer on a very fast i7 with loads of RAM and I have not had any issues with X2 to date.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

I had no issues installing X2a update patch. Did you have anti-virus on whilst downloading (sorry no question mark). Turn of all progs, download again and then try to install.

Thanks for that.  I tried downloading the patch again with anti virus off but the new version has the same problem.

I did a system restore to the point before the patch was first installed but now x2 won't open so I guess I will have to reinstall x2 all over again.  Grrr ....

Does anyone else have any further ideas?

Are you running the update as administrator?

Yes.

So I reinstalled x2 (did not uninstall just ran the install discs) and I still cannot get x2 to run.  Once again, i get the error that says mfc110u.dll is missing.

Why?

Hi there,

   I would recommend contacting technical support. It sounds almost like the patch may have been bad and corrupted X2. It seems odd, however, that a system restore would not bring X2 back online for you.

Joined the forum to reply to your post. Tried to install X2a patch yesterday and ran into the identical problems you have mentioned . . . right down to the same error messages. I too, tried all of the "redo fixes" mentioned earlier with no success. I finally contacted tech support and they recommended I do a clean install of Sonar X2 and sent instructions for manually clearing the windows registry before reinstalling. After doing this, X2 installed properly and functioned properly. I then felt rejuvenated and tried to install X2a again. I ran into the same problems I had the first time. I must mention that the program did open and would function after installing the patch both times. However, everything was visually zoomed in as if I had lowered the resolution for my monitors (including third party windows). Half of the normal window wouldn't fit. I then messed with docking and undocking some items and they began to freeze. Have had no problems (couple bugs) until now. System restore did work after the second install and I am now at the exact point I was before wasting a day and a half. I too am looking for answers. Hope I posted this correctly. Will update info soon . . . for now Win 7 64, i5 2.8, 12 GB RAM

I posted this issue yesterday as well... I too got it here when installing from a hard copy DVD (factory) of X2... A number of shared utils dll's would not register...

But X2 appears to be working fine on the laptop I installed it on so far... I have not applied the X2a patch there yet as I'm still wondering if I need to re-install X2 yet again (I already have installed/uninstalled at least 3 times)...

I had virus protection off and ran as administrator every time but the same happens each time...

I am looking at this elsewhere on the web and will post back if I find anything that might seem to help,
