When I installed the Additional Content (after installing and setting up X2 Producer), it placed the Demo in my X1 folder, not the X2 Folder.

I think it is because of this registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software]
"ContentDir"="K:\\Sonar X2\\Cakewalk Content"
"ProjectDir"="K:\\Sonar X2\\Cakewalk Projects"

This is the value after I changed the ProjectDir key -- it pointed to K:\Sonar X1\... when I ran the Additional Content Setup.

There didn't seem to be any user input to make this location change, or maybe I missed it.
I did go into preferences and changed all the locations I could find before I installed the Additional Content File.

What is the name(s) of the new demo content? I want to see where mine is but I am not sure which is the new stuff. I found one demo (Where Did We Go) that had the same install date as X2, so that is new, but are there others I should look for? Thanks

Is 'Additional Content' just a demo(s), or is there anything else?  I haven't installed it yet and won't if it's just demo tracks.  (Especially if there's a female Cory Yarkin-type 'baby voice' vocal in it...)

This might help? (in read me file)

Dimension Pro Content (Producer Only)


When using Dimension Pro, in order to keep your user files in order, we recommended that you create a folder in "Cakewalk Content" called "Dimension Pro" in order to save your files without needing to run SONAR X2 as administrator. This is necessary as Dimension's Multisamples are located in “Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro” The Presets, and Elements, are located in “ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro”
In order to save to these folders you must run SONAR X2 or the standalone application as administrator.
To avoid needing to run as administrator every time you want to save a file associated with Dimension Pro, we recommend saving to the "Cakewalk Content" folder, which does not require administrator privileges.

The Demo folder is called "Where Did We Go Demo".
When I restarted, I saw a Cakewalk Contents and Project folder created on the C: drive. They were empty, so I deleted them.

@ErikDeluxe: For me, when I installed Dimension Pro, I installed the Multisamples to the folder in K:\Sonar X1\Cakewalk Content. I did the same for Rapture, RXP, Zeta+2 and Beatscape - all the Multisamples and stuff like that are in that folder. I think I had to move them manually and modify the registry, but I don't recall exactly what I did back then.
