Hi, remove the registry keys or Cakewalk folders in the registry, specificly
localMachine\software\Cakewalk, LocalMachineSoftware\WOW6432\Cakewalk,
CurrentUser\Software\Cakewalk, and CurrentUser\Software\WOW6432\Cakewalk.
Remove the cakewalk folders in program files and/or program files (x86),
program data, and in userName\AppData\Roaming.
Note that the installer might still find the serial number and registration,
if this key is stored in the InstallWizard key such as MindVision or
WiseSolutions, but don't worry about that, it shouldn't have any effect on
the program itself.
If you are still having problems after a reinstall like this, you could have
other issues. Sometimes I've seen Sonar not fully install the VisualC+
libraries properly and that could be an issue. Problem is, no safe way to
tell which of the various c+ libs was the one sonar installed. Don't go
removing those, because other programs install other versions and they are
required; unless you know which belongs to it, you'll end up with more
problems down the line.
You might also consider reinstalling your interface drivers to be sure that
your interface is not what's tripping up sonar.
HTH, D!J!X!

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.
