AsYouCanSee Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) So, there was an issue with my UI at first. I figured it was because my version of Cakewalk was out of date, so I decided to update it. When I went to Bandlab Assistant and tried to update it, however, it was stuck at "installing." I did some searching, and decided that the best course of action would be to uninstall and reinstall Cakewalk. I backed up my vsts, and uninstalled cakewalk, making sure not to delete shared files. Once I tried to reinstall, however, I ran into the same problem as before, with it being stuck at "installing." At this point I am frustrated and confused, and I am desperate. I see on some forums that you can install it manually by finding the exe file in the system folder. I check there, and sure enough, I find a file called "Cakewalk_by_BandLab_Setup_27.01.0.098_r1.exe" which gives me a sense of relief. I try to open it, and it says "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." Under it is another exe file, "Cakewalk_by_BandLab_Update_Setup_26.09.0.006.exe", and I try that one despite being out of date. The wizard fires up, and I select my language, but I am then met with another message saying "This installer requires Cakewalk by Bandlab version 2020.08." My computer is up to date and my drivers are good. I'm confused and nervous, as I have sunk a year and a half on this program and I do not think I would realistically be able to learn another one any time soon. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Edited February 5, 2021 by AsYouCanSee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatstand Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Just an idea although I could be wrong. You could try downloading the installer linked in the first post of this thread [CLOSED] 2021.01 Hotfix Preview [Updated to build 93] in the early access section. Then try running that. It may work and you may have to update afterwards but worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petru-Andrei Baleanu Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Similar problem here. I've been trying to install Cakewalk for 1 hour, and Bandlab Assistant always downloads a 1 kb file instead of the full setup file. This happens on 2 computers and there is no problem in downloading the setup files for Drums Replacer and the other addons, just the main Cakewalk installer always has 1kb. I never had this problem before and i've been using Cakewalk ever since it came out.... Anyone ale experience this? I suspect it's a problem from Bandlab.

"Cakewalk_by_BandLab_Setup_27.01.0.098_r1.exe" file always stuck at 1kb. Any other add-ons download fine. I have tried reinstalling multiple times, cleaning the Registry entries, running in Admin mode, deactivating Firewall, and a ton of other suggestions from other threads, but nothing seems to fix this...

granlu Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Same issue here. Version file "Cakewalk_by_BandLab_Setup_27.01.0.098_r1.exe" seems to be corrupted? I suspect an error on the server side. Any way to get a direct link to this exe file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I see you have installed Cakewalk in the past. Are you using the in-app update process, BandLab Assistant or the Cakewalk Web Installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
