Thanks Rail! Well, RE drives; that makes complete sense!  Since I am working this out on my laptop, I will have to deal with the external usb. When I build my desktop, I will be well informed. Thanks again.
 
Beepster... You are welcome. I appreciate being able to learn and understand, and this is really great way to do it, too!

Okay... so I managed to get all the Rock Legends files extracted without an error or adding those programs. I just did what Rail said and made sure the file path name was nice and short. Here's what I did. I copied the folder with the zipped files from my desktop (which is where I saved them to) pasted the folder onto my E drive and renamed it R L Kit then extracted the files. Worked like a charm. Thanks, Rail. Now I'm ready to install.

@pentimentosound... That's what it's all about. This forum is awesome so if I can help anyone the way I've been helped out by the fine folks here I try to. Cheers and really... you're gonna love this program. I can't believe it's only $50.

Alright... so there is a manual for installation included so I won't repeat everything in there but read it. I'll just describe what I am personally doing. I right clicked the installer in pack one and chose "Run As Administrator". The installer popped up and I clicked next, clicked agree and next and now I am at the data path page. It is defaulting to my C drive so I'm gonna click browse, navigate to my E drive, create a new folder and I labeled it BFD samples. Whatevs... makes sense to me. Now let's see what happens. BRB.

It's installing. I'm gonna repeat this for all 5 of the installers. This will take a while. The manual states that when you create a path in the installer it will automatically associate itself with BFD. Hopefully I did this right and that will be the case.

On the second installer pack the installation wizard has defaulted to the BFD Samples folder I created on my E drive so it looks like I'll just have to click through without any more screwing around. Cool.

Alright. Done. That took about 5-10 minutes. Easy peasy. Time for a smoke.

Darn. Didn't see it automatically and the Rock Legends QuickPack manual refers to a "Preferences" menu which does not seem to be anywhere that I can find. So I'm gonna try what Rail detailed in post 61 of this thread. Just to be thorough in my own description of the process (I am using Win 7 Pro 64) I am clicking the Options menu in BFD Eco (the button with the Checkmark beside the button with Question mark button... NOT the windows style option menu at the top left of the screen) and clicking the + button. Now a browser window for my computer pops up. He said to point to the ROOT directory which in my case has been labeled BFD Samples on my E drive. Click okay... uh, and now I have a popup telling me that the Data path is already known and I cannot add a second copy. Alright. That's weird. Guess I'll look at the BFD browser again. BRB

Did you not create a folder named,  e:\Rock legends ?
Hit, "rebuild databases" which is just below, "set data paths"

Okay... So in the "Options" menu (checkmark button) I clicked "Rebuild Database" as Rail said and it said I have an unauthorized kit or whatever and asked me if I wanted to start the License Manager. I clicked through all that and now I have the License manager up and it is asking me for my serial number. Cool. BRB
