Hi Jay. We show that you have CakeTalking 8.5. Some of what you wrote in your message might be a type-o, so check the following to be sure. First, you wrote that you're using Sonar 8.52, but you need Sonar 8.53. The 8.53 patch is free from Cakewalk. It is absolutely required for CakeTalking 8.5, though. I've seen that specific error that you quoted when some people try to install CakeTalking from the Dancing Dots DVD. Not sure why it happens. That isn't a problem, as you can always download and run the newest version of the installer from the web. http://www.dancingdots.com/ct/8.5sj/ If that still doesn't help, please send me a message directly by using the support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> address, or call the Dancing Dots main number, and I'll help you get going with 8.5.

Hi all I am having a problem installing caketalking 8 with sonar 8.5.2 under win 7 64 bit. As it's installing, the following message comes up Error The file Triple A layout.cakewalkWindowLayout could not be opened. Please check that your disk is not full and that you have access to the destination directory. Access is denied. I also tried running the setup as administrator. I am installing it from the dancing dots product disk. Thanks for any help Jay
