I got it downloaded but I’m totally baffled as to how to install and run it.  When I unzip it and click on the install icon I get a quick flash of light and then nothing.  I’ve searched, but can’t find it anywhere on my computer.  I changed my computer setting to run 32 bit programs and tried installing again, but I can’t see anything happening. Obviously, I’m doing something wrong.  Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

I haven’t tried it myself, but from reading the linked forum page, there isn’t an “install” as such.

You unZIP it and then it runs as a command line program. So double clicking on it will just very quickly open a command prompt that displays an error message and then exits too quickly to read the error message.

Simplified, from the azslow forum page:

From a command prompt (CMD), type: <path to executable>\cwp2song  <path to the project>\<project name.cwp>

So if you put the cwp2song.exe file in the folder C:\CWP2SONG, what you would do is first open a command prompt, then type cd\CWPSONG then hit enter. Then type cwp2song then a space, then the path and name of the project file you want to convert then hit enter.

As in: cwp2song C:\Cakewalk Projects\MyProject\MyProject.cwp <Enter>

After which you should find MyProject.song in the project folder.

Correct, and then after you open the newly created .song file it’s best to immediately do a Save As (so as to store the A1 song elsewhere than the original Cake song folder).
