here is a generic way to refer to the download path
%appdata%\bandlab-assistant\Downloads
 
As long as CbB has been activated, there should be no problem running the update from the command line.

I would far rather know where the CbB exe folders and registry hives get installed.
 
Then I could just copy all from my laptop to my studio machine.

Unless there is an existing activated CbB on the studio machine copying the files from laptop to the studio machine will result in CbB running in demo mode. IOW, there is no legitimate way to get an activated CbB install without running BA to perform the initial install. running and the user logged in.

[T]here is no legitimate way to get an activated CbB install without running BA to perform the initial install.

Does anyone know why this is?

because they want to know who is using the free ap

OK, the activation requirement is one thing - I get that. A simple exchange of a few bits of info. Its the requirement that the download be conducted on the DAW that I don't get. Those of us without good Internet connections are left out.

yes, that i don't understand, but maybe it's just the "first version" until they sort stuff out (offline activation, etc)

Hey Cactus
 
Yes I did. Thanks very much..........Yes I went to the wrong folder...Duh.

Exactly 
We are a minority? not sure. In this world of everyone expecting to be connected 24/7 no matter where you are we've a long way to go. And then then some are warning us that Cell towers are slowly baking everyone who lives near them so do we really want more of that?? 
I'd say that in BC only the few major cities are covered by both broadband internet and cell service. The rest of us use Satellite.  In the interior  we all share one gateway in Alberta. That is my problem in a nutshell. Bottleneck. 
I live not far from a major Highway that crosses from west to east and about 70% of it has no cell coverage.
