After spending four days downloading everything in the latest Platinum update (we live in the sticks and have a slow connection), my creaky, old Core 2 duo is starting to act real flaky and I may have to pick up a new machine.
 
Two questions occur to me:
1. Is there a reliable, comprehensive list of where all the stuff I downloaded is stored, assuming I used the default download settings? I can figure out the obvious , like samples, programs etc., but I'd really like to make sure I move as much as I can to the new cmptr to minimize more downloading and installing.
 
2. Would the installation/setup .exe files still be on my disk and could I move them to the new disk and install from them?
 
Thanks for any help.
 
 

If you installed using the new Command Center, the install files should still be there.

2. When using the Command Center the installers are cached on your PC. The location is controlled by the "Download Path" entry on the Paths tab in the Command Center settings. The Command Center settings are accessed by clicking the gear in the upper right of the Command Center UI.
 
These files may be deleted. Either at the OS level or using the "Delete Files" option in the context menu on items listed in the Command Center. Should the Command Center need a file and cannot find it in the Download Path, it will download the file again.
 
Personally, I created a directory junction using the Windows command line utility mklink for the default path to another drive in my PC. The reason for using a directory junction instead of simply changing the path in the Command Center is this path is reset when logging out of the Command Center. Should it ever become necessary to reset the Command Center, I never want this path to change.

Thanx, guys. I did use the Command Center. I'll go there and check the download path.
 
scook: That sounds like a good idea, but mklink sounds over my head. I better stick to the manual approach.

Found it all. Just what I needed. Thanks to all.
