Three days of downloads failed and retried, now how do you install all this ?

- I have Sonar 8.5, Sonar X1 and now plans to add Sonar X2 ; any advice (else that installing in a different folder?) 

- What: do you just double click Sonar X2 Pack 1 and it will autoconnect part after part during installation ?

- About Dimension: I already have Dimension that came with X1 - is this version different or the same ? (If different, should I uninstall the other Dimension first then install that one ?

Anything else (advices) I should know ? -  Very practical to have a link in ''installation instructions instructions'' that gets me to a page which just explains... downloading instructions !...

Thanks,
Rob

click on the 1st exe ..it will install all 4 .. do extra content

Right click part 1 of the download and select "Run as Administrator"

not to hijack your thread but I am wondering the same thing....

Only I am waiting for my disk's to show up before I do an install.....

But my main question is this......My Dim Pro is at version 1.5 and is fine and stable.....Can i skip installing Dimpro with the X2 installation?

I also have the full version of Rapture which can run in stand alone but not it a project and I am tired of trying to fix it so I am going do a clean uninstall and then just let X2 reinstall it for me....then if needed install the 3 expansion packs and be done with it.

But I am intrested in not having to reinstall Dimpro so any advice would be nice.
Thankx

I also had problems with Rapture but so far it's running ok after letting X2 install a new version.

I did however make sure that ALL plugins were installed in C:\Program\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\X2 NOT C:\Program\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\

I usually let the bulk of the program install to where it wants to default to and in this case it will install the  C:\Program\cakewalk
 
For all Libraries I have a seperate and dedicated drive that I use
 
Then for the VST's in my C directory I have a folder that I labeled All VST's
I subfolder it ;
64 bit VST's
32 Bit VST's
JBridge VST's
Cakewalk VST's
This way I know where all my VST's are and any time I need to rescan I just point to one folder. "All VST's" and it get's them all.....easy peasy
 
However I think that I will make a seperate sub folder in my cake VST folder for version X2 after reading your post....it will just make it cleaner
 
But in this case I do not want X2 to re-install DimPro cause it works so well right now and it's so stable....even the DSF Strings that we got free work perefect...........So if I can skip this (which I think I can with a custom install) and it will be picked up with the 1st scan X2 will need to do to install all my plugs.......
 
But as I said ......Rapture is another story.......I cannot tell you how many times I've had to uninstall, and re-install and I've even worked with customer support to try to resolve the isssue with no solutions.....
 
So since X2 comes with the full version of Rapture it may just be better to do a clean un-install and just let X2 do it's thing.....I'm hoping this solves the problem...........................cause I really love Rapture.....

The DimPro in X1 and X2 are the same. If you are running DimPro 1.5 skip the DimPro intall.

Thanks
That is the feeling I had ....but I still wanted to ask anyway to be sure....

k thanks.
Glad to report that installation went fine and i'm up to ride X2 !
Thanks everyone.

So no need to install DimPro since it's the same version.
