Sonar 2 XL Installation & Direct X 9 / DX8.1 version fak

Upon trying to install Sonar 2.0 XL on my Windows XP PC, it promptly tells me that I don't have Direct X 8.1 installed, which is right, I have Direct X 9. The problem is that I can't go any further until it thinks I have Direct X 8.1. Is there a work-around for this or a program that will make a program think that you have a different version of Direct X installed? Any help on this matter would be great, because Sonar 2 XL is too expensive to go to waste. Thanks in advance.

I've got exactly the same problem - the Sonar installer doesn't support DirectX 9. I haven't found a workaround yet - I'm sure Cakewalk would rather have you buy a newer version of Sonar.

If anybody knows anything more about this issue, please post it here.

I had the same problem too but I have found this page: http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/DX9.ASP. Idownloaded the file, followed the instructions and finally installed Sonar. Hope it works for you.
