That gets the plug loaded for me, but whenever I try to route pentagon as a vocoder, it kills my audio engine within 2 minutes. 

Haven't been able to get that resolved. I'm hoping to try the vst version and see if that works better.

Did you (or anyone) ever get this sorted?  Same problem here.  Yes, am running as administrator.

The Pentagon I.dll file is in the Pentagon I folder, version 1.5.0.0 with Date modified (under the properties>details tab of 09/06/2006.  I tried a reinstall of just this one synth (from downloaded upgrade), and while it seemed to install files, they're all located and dated as before.

Any help appreciated.

thx,  Ron

Where is still another possibility to run Pentagon I on Win7 64 bit without running Sonar X1 as administrator:

Open regedit.exe
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\rgc:audio Software\Dxi\Pentagon I
Right click on the Pentagon I folder and select permissions
Set the permission for group users to allow full access and click ok

Now I can start Sonar X1 without running as administrator and I can also use Pentagon I.

There's a much safer way - right click the Sonar exe, click on Properties > Compatibility mode. You can choose there to ALWAYS run Sonar as Administrator

I just tried this last night and saw the same thing the OP did.
I wonder if the trick I have been using of right-clicking the folder and changing the security to "alow" all users to modify the contents will work here.
I will try this today and let you guys know.

No, that didn't work so I guess I'll have to run Sonar as an administrator to use Pentagon.
