Step 5:Installing SONAR

SONAR is easy install. All you need to do is choose the folder where the program files should be stored. You must install from a local CD-ROM Drive, using the original product CD. You cannot install the product from a networked drive, nor can you copy the files from the CD to a hard disk and install from the copy.

Before you start, make sure you have your serial number is located on the back of your CD case.

If you choose not to install the plug-in effects, when you open files created with previous Cakewalk products, the files may not load properly.

■To Install SONAR

1.Close any open programs you have running.

2.Place the SONAR CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

3.If you have auto-play enabled, the setup will open automatically. If it doesn’t, select “Start- Run,” click “Browse” and choose the “Autorun.exe” program from the product CD, and click OK to start SONAR Setup.

4.Click the Install SONAR button.

5.Follow the installation instructions displayed on the screen.

DO NOT restart your computer, when you are prompted to do so during installation. After installation is completed, please restart your computer manually.

If you exit Setup without completing the installation, choose Start-Run, click Browse and choose the Autorun.exe program from the product CD, and click OK. This will reopen the AutoRun window, and you can click Install SONAR to start installation again.
