Cakewalk setup fail - SOLVED

[spacekid.90]

Hi everyone,

I recently reset my Windows 10 Home and tried to install Cakewalk again. 

As you see in the picture  it was "Unable to register the DLL/OCX:RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3"

Could it be some k?ind of driver is missing

Thank you,

Space Kid

Probably missing "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime" or its corrupted.

This page is old but maybe helps: https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2016000033/Unable-to-register-the-DLL-OCX-RegSvr32-failed-with-exit-code-0x3

First of all, make sure your Windows is fully patched.
You can also try re-installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 2015-2019.

Re-installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 2015-2019 worked.

Yes, "fully patched" means "up-to-date the Windows".
ARM64 is not needed for desktop PCs, so please install x64 and x86 and then try to reinstall Cakewalk (Just in case, after reboot your PC).

Hi DIDAZNE  

You may have tried this but here's what I did:

I installed both  vc_redist.x86.exe  vc_redist.x64.exe from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

It worked for me when I closed everything, installed the given exe's and restarted the PC when it prompted me.

Please note it did not work when I restarted the PC manually later on!

Also, you could try to "repair" the program if you have already installed it and it still does not work. Click in the "exe" files and follow the wizard to "repair" and restart.

I hope this helps  

Cheers,
