Can't install Cakewalk...


Recommended Posts

I'm new to the Cakewalk scene. I downloaded the Bandlab assistant, which downloaded and works fine. Following the instructions given on this site and Bandlab's, I navigated to apps and pressed "Install" under "Cakewalk." It sent me to the add-on selection. I selected my preferred options (all of the available add-ons) and pressed "install." Nothing. I tried selecting no add-ons. Nothing. I tried both of these things again, but first I closed out of Bandlab Assistant and ran it again as an administrator. Still no luck. It simply won't let me install it.

Thoughts from anyone who knows more than I do? Thanks!

Yep. I'm having the same problem. Because I couldn't install the Cakewalk update, I uninstalled Bandlab assistant and the core Cakewalk programme and now although I'm able to install BA it does nothing when I get to the install option....no download, in fact no network activity at all. I've taken off my anti-virus, checked the firewall access and run BA as administrator, but no success. If this is a bug as scook suggests then let's hope it's fixed quickly.

OK so I'm a cheapskate, wanted free Cakewalk for Win7. Well I'm now hoping I can make best use of everything else apart from Cakewalk because I can't install it. The BandLabAssistant thing downloads but when it runs, says "There's no program attached to this launcher" or some such. It just loads a go-nowhere log in panel for BandLab (which I can do online in a browser anyway). Makes no odds if I'm Admin. I have set up an account with BandLab and confirmed my email but it doesn't look as if I'll get to re-use my Quickshot MIDI Composer keyboard any time soon....

Are you running Win 7 32 bit? This may be the issue.

I'm running the latest Cakewalk on Win 7 without issues.
