Got the pre-release - what exactly do I need to install?

Hi,
Currently running X3e.
 
I got an email to buy - which I guess is the "pre-release" version, and went for it.
(I got 3 of these emails BTW, so I'm guessing you don't have to be too "special" or "lucky" to get one) ;-)
I just bought it "upfront" so it should all be straightforward re: downloads etc.
 
Anyway - what exactly do I really need to install?
- the program obviously
- is the new Prochannel stuff in with the actual SONAR program? (I don't see a separate install)
- are the FX pretty much all the same as in X3e?
- I think TH2 Producer is new (currently just the SONAR version?) - so I'll install the "boutique suite"
- Instruments are the same too? (AD2 is a separate install)
(help files check, Anderton FX Chains check)
 
Also - The Command Center looks cool, but does it make sense to download from "my account" for safe copies of the media?
 
I'll get to this soon - but I'm just looking to avoid downloading/installing lots of stuff that is the same as what I already have.

er - that's it I think...

    I would use Command Center to download, it is click and walk away.
     
    I just installed all the content under Platinum.  Dim Pro, Rapture and Melodyne are all the same as X3.
     
    I am waiting on AD2 to do some research on packs.

    Thanks Dave - I just saw your thread.
     
    I'm pretty sure we can skip most of the stuff inder SONAR too. I think most of it is the same as what we already have in X3. (hoping someone from Cakewalk can verify)
     
    Don't worry, I'm not going to shout and scream how I haven't got my money's worth ;-)
    I just don't want to bother re-installing abunch of things if they're the same as what I have.
     
    Personally, I'll be happy with the updates to the core program ;-)

    If you already have X3 fully installed you should be able to install just the core app and the Anderton FX Chains.

    Great! thanks Bill!

    will I need Command Center to update the plugins at some point?

    Or is it safe to say the plugins are going to "stay where they are" (version wise)

    I have AD2. Will it be possible to skip this install and only register the new adpaks with xln?
