Understanding BUN Issues
Frequent BUN Opening Issues
Cakewalk SONAR Disappeared
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open BUN Files" when trying to open your BUN. If so, it typically means that you don't have Cakewalk SONAR installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your BUN with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When another BUN application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Cakewalk SONAR is Out-of-Date
Your Cakewalk Bundle File file is incompatible with Cakewalk SONAR because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Cakewalk, Inc. website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Cakewalk SONAR. This issue mainly occurs when your Cakewalk Bundle File file was created by a newer version of Cakewalk SONAR than you have on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your BUN file and clicking "Properties".
Primarily, problems experienced when opening BUN files are due to having the incorrect version of Cakewalk SONAR installed on your computer.
Additional BUN Opening Issues
Even with the correct version of Cakewalk SONAR installed, you can still experience difficulties opening BUNs. Other BUN opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for BUN
- Deletion of the BUN file description from the Registry by mistake
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the BUN format
- The BUN itself is corrupted
- Your BUN has adversely impacted by malware
- Device drivers for BUN-related hardware are out-of-date
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your Cakewalk Bundle File file
