Adding/installing content and software download updates
Hi,

I'm a Komplete 6 owner/user and I just installed the new components from my Komplete 7 upgrade (Abbey Road Drums, Scarbee, Vienna, etc.). I downloaded a number of files from the Service Center (as usual). I have a 2nd internal sample drive and installed the content on it but...
1. I did screw up (a bit) as I didn't notice that instead of just installing the new sample content on the "root" of my sample drive it created the folders Users-->Shared and then subfolders (Berlin, Scarbee, etc. See the attached screen shot). Not the end of the world, but it's an extra layer of navigation than I wanted. There's nothing to be done at this point but reinstall it from the beginning into a new, newly named folder as I don't want to move/rename anything that's already been installed, correct? I guess just live with it.
2. My MAIN QUESTION. Since I've installed these various new sample libraries and now downloaded all the content updates (as well as some software updates) I noticed when I started to install "AbbeyRoad60sDrums_110U_OS X," for example, that the installer was defaulting to my boot drive.
a. I need to make sure that every CONTENT download or update is manually changed to install on my sample drive (the user-->shared folder), not my boot drive?
b. Any SOFTWARE updates need to default to installation on my boot drive? That's where they belong?
c. I have to watch each installer like a hawk to make sure it's set properly as I don't want content stuff on my boot and software stuff on my sample drives, yes?
Possible a bit complicated, no?
3. Is there a way of "purging" files I've already downloaded from the Service Center? Every time I go there I still get manuals and even content updates that I've long since downloaded and installed! It just makes for a more cluttered experience as I have to parse the listing, as opposed to simply only seeing the needed files listed. Perhaps this is because in the past I did what I just mentioned (can't remember) and had some files installed on my boot and other on my sample drive and Service Center can't find things?
4. If I inadvertently re-install an older version of a file does it indeed wipe out the more recent one or is Service Center (or the app itself) smart enough to know it isn't updating and won't wipe out the more recent file with the older? If not, my problem no. 3 is more of an issue.

Long questions!

Thanks,

Joel
