Hi John,
You have brought up a very good point here. I have a nasty feeling that
incomplete removal is the root cause of quite a few issues.
Does anyone have access to detailed instructions for complete removal of Sonar
and associated components? It doesn't matter how complex they are at this
stage, involving Registry editing, etc.. I'm sure we can at least get things
down to a check list, and go from there.
George.

Subject: [ddots-l] How do you completely uninstall Sonar?
Hi all. As you may recall, a couple of months ago I had an issue where Sonar
was crashing ,and we determined the solution was to uninstall and try
installing again. I finally dug my Sonar CDs out of the boxes from the move,
uninstalled, and tried reinstalling. It said a previous version had been found
and thus shared paths were already defined. I figured that was fine since I
didn't try to uninstall all the plugins Etc., just Sonar. So it installed. Then
I patched from producer 8.5 to 8.5.2, then to 8.5.3. Finally I was ready to
run! I did, and it did the thing about how it was going to personalize my
stuff. I told it to do it. Low and behold, it crashed yet again. So since I
wasn't there, I ran it again. It got to the wave profiler question, I tried to
answer no since I was going to pick ASIO, and same crash.
So I figured I'd uninstall again, and this time ran some registry cleanup to
get rid of its old stuff. But apparently some of it's still there, because when
I started installing, it detected a previous installation, and said the same
stuff about shared paths Etc. So joy of joys, I get to try installing from
scratch, I guess. But how do I do that? I assume I have to go delete stuff from
the registry, unless there's some special option to the uninstaller which will
do it for me.
Somehow, I doubt it though. I have the sneaking suspicion I actually need to
format the drive and do a fresh install of XP and everything else, but that's
way more painful than installing Sonar from scratch, so I'll try Sonar first,
he says, foolishly and optimistically.
