BA was primarily designed in Singapore for BandLab, the web-based DAW. It was pressed into service as a CbB install/updater in order to have something on day one. The new installer is being developed by the CbB team. The new installer is primarily for new installs although it will update too. Users with CbB 2020.09 and newer installed should use the in-app update process. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcL Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 As I had the same problems with BLA to update CbB as others mentioned above, I gave this new updater a try. But my first attempt failed! Although the install ran without trouble, running CbB I got the following message: Re-downloading the installer and trying again did not work either! Thus I rolled CbB back to 2021-04 and gave the installer another chance, this time with SUCCESS! ? (it loaded down the full CbB installer). Looking at the first, failed installation try (I had renamed the folder to keep it) I suspect the installer had only downloaded the CbB update installer, although I had renamed the 'Cakewalk Core' folder to force a download of the full installer (for my offline system). This seems not to work (as with BLA)! Though I like this new installer, I have some small improvement proposals: It would be cool if we could define the download location For those having offline systems it would be helpful if a full download could be forced (check box or other button) ... and the local installation could be skipped somehow (check box or button) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a replacement for installation via BandLab assistant. This is a simple tool that downloads and runs the latest version of Cakewalk on your PC. Please download and try this installer and let us know in this thread if you encounter any problems. Note that if you are already on the latest version it will not update it.Note: If you already have cakewalk installed you can update directly from within the application by choosing Help | Check for Updates EDIT: Link updated to Downloader version 1.0.0.26. Great new downloader When I use Bandalab downloader, due to frequent packets, due to the existence of filtering servers in my country, with the slightest problem and the smallest packet, the download process took days and was inconclusive, because Bandalab Assistant was not able to continue the download. I had to go through the download process several times to get the desired result, but now with your new downloader, the download was done without any problems in the first time of use. Thankful . ❤️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying we need to uninstall CW and run this new installer? I see your "Note", but "Check for updates" tells me "You have the latest update" and SI-Drum Kit IS installed but it just won't play. Thanks for your help.

Noel Borthwick Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 No need to uninstall Cakewalk. Run the latest web installer and choose to install SI instruments from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A suggestion: since it looks like the Cakewalk devs are the ones creating this: could the latest Cakewalk Reference Guide be included with it? As it stands, as far as I know the only way for a user to get it (maybe even know about it) is to come to the forum, which many people are not going to do. It's such a valuable resource, one that I'm still referring to daily even after using Cakewalk for 3 years. It's so packed with great information. Theme Editor is included as an option with Cakewalk installs and I think that more people are likely to use the Reference Guide. It would allow for a Utilities menu entry to be able to launch it from wherever it's installed. I am not sure that the documentation can be updated to match every release and its changes, however there has been a post about where to get the latest reference manual - from May of 2021 = and after I posted the link - see they are keeping up - Jan 4 of 2022 - great work Edited January 13, 2022 by Mark Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This installer worked great! I had attempted to uninstall/re-install Cakewalk, but then discovered that I had only saved the "update" installers, when I actually needed the full installer to run. The update installers from BandLab Assistant had failed as they were dependent on an installed version of Cakewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kinkead Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I found a link that would let me install Cakewalk on drive D: then my C: drive died on me. I trying to find the link to the installer that has the advanced option in it. This install doesn't appear to have that option. Can anyone tell me where it is located or the url for the installer please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 To avoid problems, I would recommend installing Cakewalk on the system "C:" drive under "Program files", then put your Cakewalk content elsewhere, such as the "D:" drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
