Hey Legendary!
Here's how to do a clean uninstall of Sonar, unfortunately, this is for
Sonar 6 Producer, it might do the trick if you substitute Sonar 6 for Sonar
v7 where appropriate:
Deep uninstallation of Sonar:
Procedure #1:
1 - Backup your work files, together with any templates, etc, in your user
area;
2 - Uninstall Sonar from Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs.
Say "Yes to All", when prompted to remove shared components;
3 - Delete the Sonar 6 Producer Edition folder from the c:\program
files\cakewalk folder.
4 - Delete the Sonar 6 Producer Edition folder from the c:\documents and
settings\all users\application data\cakewalk folder, if it still exists;
5 - Delete the Sonar 6 Producer Edition folder from the c:\documents and
settings\(your user name)\application data\cakewalk folder, if it still
exists.
6 - Go into My Documents - there should be a Cakewalk folder within it. If
there is, delete any Sonar and/or Sonar 6 Producer Edition folders within
it;
7 - Using regedit, delete the following keys:
HKey_Current_User|Software|Cakewalk Music Software|Sonar Producer|6.0
And:
HKey_Local_Machine|Software|Cakewalk Music Software|Sonar Producer|6.0
8 - Reboot, then empty your Recycle Bin.
Procedure #2:
1 - Go to Start|Programs|Cakewalk|Sonar 6 Producer Edition|Uninstall
2 - Once you've uninstalled, reboot;
3 - Go to Start|Run and type the following command into the dialog:
Cmd
Then press Enter;
3 - You'll get something like an old-fashioned DOS prompt. Type the
following commands followed by Enter keys:
Cd %temp%
Del *.*
(you'll need to confirm this one by pressing Y then Enter)
Cd \windows\temp
Del *.*
(again, you'll need to confirm)
Chkdsk c: /f /r
(You need to run this command once for each hard drive you've got, so
replace c: with d:, as appropriate. The command will almost certainly tell
you that the drive is locked and ask you if you want the check to be
performed the next time the system boots - say "yes" by pressing Y then the
Enter key in each case);
Exit
(this command will close the command prompt and return you to Windows)
4 - Reboot again and don't be alarmed if it takes the system a long time
before it loads up Jaws, etc.
As for doing a quote blind quote install of Sonar, I always used to, using
Windows Explorer, navigate to the DVD in My Computer, then copy & paste the
entire contents of the disk to a location on my D drive, and do the install
from there...
It worked for me, but someone else probably duz it different, anyway, I just
know it worx...

Subject: [ddots-l] Blind install of Sonar page location & more...
Dear Listers,
I had a catastrophic drive failure a few months ago, so I haven't been
around for a while with a business to run, new bride, etc.
I am finally getting around to reinstalling Sonar, CakeTalking, Sound
cards and the like. I seem to remember a page where it led one through
what to expect while doing a blind install of
Sonar. I can't seem to find that page... this is somewhat important,
because for whatever reason, I can not upgrade to Sonar 7.01 & 7.02.
Sonar can't see Sonar 7.00 on my system for some reason. Obviously, I
have to do this before installing CakeTalking on my system.
#1, any suggestions as to the core problem would be appreciated, but if
not, #2, would anyone know where that blind install of Sonar page might
be?
Thanks much!
Billy
