Latest version of Sonar still will not continue starting after showing the splash window. Is there a way to get some kind of diagnostics information that I can then post to show the issue I have?

you can check windows event viewer, or more hardcore, attach windbg to the sonar process and that will halt on any exceptions, if sonar's not offering you a dmp file

Oh, no!!! Turn my back and all has changed to almost unrecognizable! Where is Bandlab?

OK - so downloaded Cakewalk Product Center. I have a dedicated recording drive. I do not have recording software installed to C drive (for Windows, Outlook, and computer tools.). Cakewalk seems to install pieces across several drives and previously had to search and replace files to recording drive. 

Looks like I have no option but to install CPC to another drive but C? If so, why?

Will this be the same with Sonar too? If so, that's gonna really suck.

Product Center is a small utility app, it would be unnecessary to install it to another drive. You really wouldn't benefit from doing that. Sonar allows you to pick the paths in the same way previous Cakewalk/SONAR versions have. If you have previous versions on the same system, it'll already pick up the existing shared install paths

minidumps of what? The program crashes silently and does not provide any indication of what is happening.

Read the sticky FAQ on how to capture crash dumps. Have you looked in the crash dump folder? Sometimes even if the app disappears the dump file has indeed been saved.
In cases where the application has no chance to capture the crash state, you can run Microsoft’s WinDbg tool and run Sonar from within the tool to intercept the crash. Its a more technical process however.

As I said, there are no crash reports, it seems to crash before the crash report system starts. Unless there is a command line switch or something to turn it on before its turned on?

There is a miniDump file in Roaming\Cakewalk\Sonar\MiniDumps but its too big to attach (6.8Mb).

This is all described in the FAQ here that I mentioned earlier.

Sending the dump file to Cakewalk for analysis
Once you have the dump file you can put it on a share like dropbox, google drive etc. Next, log a problem report case with Cakewalk and include the link to the dump file. If a Cakewalk staff member has requested info you may also PM the dump file link to them directly this way.  Note: Dump files may include personally identifiable data so please do not post links to them publicly in the forums or elsewhere to protect your privacy.

I spent a day working with the latest drop, I haven't run across any issues. Of course I'm not as deep a user as many here, but I depend on the things I use and they all work flawlessly.  Seems like a pretty solid effort, congrats Cakewalk!
