Some things which you may already be aware of but which are important to
bear in mind. You must remember to completely uninstall associated programs
like Dimension Pro and any other plug-ins that have their own installers
such as True Piano.
The one situation that we have found which really makes reinstalling SONAR
8.5 even more complicated is when a later version of SONAR has been
installed on the same machine. Any of the X Series of SONAR (X1, X2, X3)
install more recent versions of program components and plug-ins. For
example CakeTalking was not scripted for the more recent version of
Dimension Pro.
Bottom line is, if you have ever installed even a demo version of SONAR X1,
2, or 3, make sure you have completely uninstalled those versions and all
associated components as well before reinstalling SONAR 8.5 from scratch.
HTH,
Bill

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.
