Yes, that would work and obviously did. Glad it did and it is clearly a very simple way for anyone to do or try: as long as the Bandlab (or other CW) uninstaller does NOT uninstall or de-register the TTS-1 DXi. In your case looks like all is well. If anyone does end up with a deregistered version of TTS-1 after uninstalling (they probably won't, given your experience) no need to re-install CW by Bandlab to re-register the TTS-1 DXi they can simply re-register TTS-1 using regsvr32.exe. In my experience with older Cakewalk uninstallers, I'm pretty sure (in my case at least) they always uninstalled that DXi and/or deregistered it along with most other installed CW SW - but I'm old so memory is the first, or second(?) thing go.

Uninstalling previous versions of any Cakewalk SW really trashes all previous CW installs. Over 25+ years of using CW software I've uninstalled a version or two of CW at least a few times trying to clean up a little here and there, but I always have to go back and reinstall starting from V9 Pro Audio Deluxe (that was like Windows 95 or 98 and only 32-bit) forward to get retrieve all desired add-ins/add-on's, not necessarily to retrieve those older CW DAW's.

That reminds me (Yea I'm gabby) Bandlab warns if you had/have older Sonar installs and you then installed CW by Bandlab - if you UNINSTALL Bandlabs CW it WILL uninstall most of the previous installed Sonar SW. So folks that have Bandlab and OLDER Sonar need to be careful if they plan to uninstall Bandlab's version at some point.


While your method should always work (again with the above caveats) that does not solve OP's quest: the OP wants both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of TTS-1 running at the same time without the installed overhead and space used up by both Bandlab's CW and Music Creator.

If you, or the OP, are like John above and can simply "rinse and repeat" using an older 32-bit version of CW SW (older 32-bit CW, Sonar, or Music Creator) after already having installed Bandlab's 64-bit CW the SAME trick might work but again with caveats assuming: 1) the 32-bit uninstallers don't uninstall the 32-bit DXi [baby with the bathwater scenario] and 2) the 32-bit CW, Sonar, or Music Creator doesn't overwrite the already existing 64-bit TTS-1 dll file with the 32 bit one (i.e., the 32-bit installer installs TTS-1 to a completely different path/location).

As you've shown there is usually more than one way to skin a cockroach (I don't love cats but I DO hate cockroaches)


My "issues" with TTS-1 (I don't even routinely use TTS-1, I use external HW and/or other VSTi's - LOL) 32/64 bit conflicts probably stem from having installed so many CW SW versions over so many older CW SW versions starting with CW V2 for DOS all the way up to Sonar Platinum, without skipping a release!

Once every few years I'll jump in here on TTS-1 topic but and usually overthink or over-engineer a "solution."
