Cakewalk Bundle files

[Paul Martin]

Collaborate and sharing CWB files with a songwriting partner.

Unable to unpack and open recently shared files.  Receiving the following error message:

I am running my account on windows in administrator.

Is there another setting that runs the "app" as administrator?

Thanks for the assistance.

A friendly suggestion, switch from using bundle files and just .rar your project folder...you can even use a nifty little program call Quickpar- Quickpar    

Quickpar allows you to create repair files so if your files become damaged you can fix them easily. Too many people have had trouble opening older bundles...and todays bundles become older bundles tomorrow Even broken .rar files can be partially opened, damaged bundles are toast!

Totally support this idea ^^

I always store my back ups and active Project files uncompressed in their per project folders.  But when I have to send something, I always use WinRAR to send it if I need to.

Thanks for the great recommendations and feedback.  Running as administrator did not work.  Will have the files re-sent to me using rar.  Appreciate your time and assistance.  Sincerely, Paul

i have learned the hard way not to trust a .cwb/.bun file as far as i can throw it.  they seem to become easily corrupted & unusable
