2 Installed Copies of Dimension Pro... Help?

So I'm getting ready to clone my main harddrive over to an SSD and I have to go through and cut as many corners as possible to get my 900gb down to under the 256gb the ssd is gonna be. I'm down to 230 so I'm basically good but I want to try to get it under 200 just to be safe.
 
I found a thread online that explained that it's OK to move the dimension multisamples folder (which is something like 13gb I believe) to a different harddrive and then in the registry how to find where to change a registry value telling dimension where to look for the multisamples. So I did that, loaded up Sonar, loaded an instance of Dimension. Everything works. Yay.
 
BUT... Then I'm trying to find more space to save... Now keep in mind the Dimension Pro was in \Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro.... Well I just found in \Program Files\Cakewalk a whole 2nd Dimension Pro folder... with a the entire Multisamples folder in there too.
 
So now I'm not sure what to do... Should I just remove this one since I have the other? But if so, what if I have projects using THIS version of Dimension Pro... if I remove it, they won't find Dimension Pro and then they won't load... Right? Also I didn't find 2 dimension pro's in the registry so I can't really move the multisamples on THIS one and expect to be able to edit the registry for THIS one too...
 
Pretty confused as to what my best action would be here... Any ideas?
 
Also, here is MY idea... But I'm nervous about doing it... Leave the "Dimension Pro64.dll" in this 2nd Dimension folder and just erase its multisamples and hopefully from that same registry entry it will look for the same multisamples path as the other one... Anyone think that will work?
 
Oy...

Right on. I'm gonna just try it then. I suppose worst case scenario some old projects that use Dimension will have issues, but I bet it sounds like it will be fine.
 
On a side note, every description of how to do this I found, none of them mentioned the \Wow6432Node\ part and yet by some random dumb luck, that's where I found it before seeing your message haha. Random.
 
Thanks for the help

Yea actually I think that's what my problem was when i switched to this computer (years ago) all my older projects used the dx version. Ugh. That was a pain haha.

SO...
 
It's been a couple days since transferring my system drive over to the SSD and everything's working great... EXCEPT Dimension Pro of course haha. Whatever sound I try to load it says "Can't find Multisample whatevername.sfz"
 
I just checked the registry and it's certainly set to the right folder... I also just went into Dimension Pro and hit F5 to refresh my patches and it took a while, all the names are still there but still I can't load any.
 
So, any idea where I could have gone wrong? I suppose worst case since I'm about to install Sonar X3 in the next few days I'll just re-install Dimension Pro while I'm at it... That's going to kill any old projects that use Dimension Pro though most likely because I'm sure the instances won't be loadable (that's been my case in the past and I can totally imagine it happening again)...

wait wait... i just had an idea... i can't test it now cause i have to leave for work... but i put the exact folder: D:\Samples&Synths\Dimension Pro\Multisamples in the registry value... maybe I just need D:\Samples&Synths\Dimension Pro ??
 
also btw doing the search... theres literally like a million entries with the word multisamples (from all the VSTSs I own) and a million entries with the word dimension (from all kinds of random crap). this is gonna take forever haha...

Alright I bet that's it. I'll give it a try when I get home and report back :-)
