Hi all,
 
During my recent upgrade to X2 some of the older soft synths bit the dust and I'm working on a project that used Pentagon and, having trawled through the newer soft synths without finding anything that suits the project quite as well, I'm keen to re-install it!
 
I've downloaded the last few upgrades but still have discs for Sonar 8 PE.
 
If anyone knows how I could re-install Pentagon I'd be much obliged if you could share.
 
Thanks

also run sonar as administrator. 

Yeah, running Sonar as Administrator seems to be the key thing here.

I'm using the 64-bit version, so that might be why.

Your saying it stiil does not work when you run as administrator?  In that case something else is wrong. It should load fine in 64 bit X2.  (Just stay clear of presets using the valley simulator, they dont work, its a know issue.)

Right click over X2 in the Programs list and go to properties. Under the Compatibity tab click "Run this program as an admin..." at the bottom and click OK. Do the same for Pentagon and you will never have to manually "run as admin".
