It won't hurt anything to install all 3 Legacy Content installers, you'll just have a duplicate set of multisamples in your Rapture Pro multisample folder, and you'll have the two additional banks that will appear with the art displayed in the user guide for Factory Library.
 
The art there is based on the name of the Programs folder. All banks other than Rapture Pro, Dimension Pro, and Rapture will appear with the "EXPANSION PACK" art. If you want to utilize your existing Dimension/Rapture installed content and not load the Legacy packs, you can rename those migrated folders if you'd like the other art. Simply delete the "(legacy)" part so the folders are named "Dimension Pro" and "Rapture" and they'll appear as seen in the User Guide. 
 
The default location for the bank folders is C:\Cakewalk Content\Rapture Pro\Programs.
 
The "(legacy)" tag to the folder name allows you to differentiate your migrated content from what installs with the Factory Content bundles. So just to reiterate, if you had Dimension Pro and Rapture previously on your system, then hit "Install All" in Command Center, you'll end up with the Rapture Pro bank plus Dimension Pro, Dimension Pro (legacy), Rapture Classic, and Rapture (legacy) appearing in the bank list. Add to that anything that installs separately after Rapture Pro is installed, like paid expansion packs or the Anderton Collection from SONAR (Gibson Les Paul Gold Top).
 
The factory content installers volumes 4-12 all place everything within the various types of the Rapture Pro bank.

Thank you for your reply.

I have to think about it. I have about 100 Gb left on H drive which is SSD and I bought Omnesphere 2 which takes 60 Gb to install, plus future 3rd party space that it may require.
 
I already completed installation and "Install All" would not apply to me. I understand that you recommend to install on C drives, but I have very limited space left on a C drive- it is SSD as well. I am not only out of space on my drives, I also out of ports on motherboard- this system has 3SSDs and 2 HDDs. I have extra space on another HDD. The 3 legacy packs take a lot of space- I can not afford duplicates, unless I store them on that HDD, away from my H drive where I installed Rap Pro samples. If I do that, I would have samples on C, H and D drives. It is ok now, but 2 years from now I would be wondering where I put them. lol.
 
The 3rd party expansions appear under Expansion Pack: Rapture Legacy along with all the old factory Rapture presets. I think they are ok there for now. I wish you had better explanation of what each Content Pack is intended for. If I knew that graphics of the sounds depend on those 3 legacy content packs, I would likely uninstall Dim Pro and Rap Legacy and just install the content packs...
 
If you want to utilize your existing Dimension/Rapture installed content and not load the Legacy packs, you can rename those migrated folders if you'd like the other art. Simply delete the "(legacy)" part so the folders are named "Dimension Pro" and "Rapture" and they'll appear as seen in the User Guide. 

I did not know I can rename them- is it hard to do? I was concerned that I am missing factory libraries. The name is not hat critical.
Add to that anything that installs separately after Rapture Pro is installed, like paid expansion packs or the Anderton Collection from SONAR (Gibson Les Paul Gold Top).

So you saying- let's say I buy tomorrow 3rd party library for Rapture Classic- it will create separate entry under the "Bank" section? Because I have 4 Rapture Legacy libraries that now appear under the "Expansion Pack Rapture Legacy" section following after the factory. They are not listed in "Banks"- they just look like categories in the same list as old factory Rapture legacy- they just keep going- I found them by accident. Is there a way to make them appear under Bank and have separate "Bank" titles?
 
Gibson Les Paul Gold Top appears under Banks, I wish my other expansions appeared there as well...
 
Also Gibson Les Paul Gold Top is silent. How do I point it toward it's samples? It must of installed with Sonar and would be somewhere with Sonar files on C drive?
 
I still missing samples and have silent programs in Rapture Pro libraries- it is not resolved.
Thank you.

If you have your existing Dimension Pro and Rapture libraries, it's also okay not to install those legacy packs, I was just citing what to expect if both are installed and why the banks appear differently.
 
Your existing expansion pack installs were migrated, which is why the appear in the Rapture (legacy) folder. The expansion packs now have new installers that will automatically install them for Rapture Pro. These new installers will create a new bank in Rapture Pro.
 
Renaming the banks to display the custom art is very simple, just navigate to the Programs folder- C:\Cakewalk Content\Rapture Pro\Programs, right click on a folder, and choose Rename. You can then remove the (legacy) part if desired. The Factory banks as displayed in the user guide have the same content that installs with Dimension Pro and Rapture currently. This just enables Rapture Pro to have everything should you not have/want the legacy synths installed.
 
For the Gold Top expansion pack, first, you'll need to make sure you've installed the update for the Anderton Collection for Platinum. That update corrects an installer issue that was preventing Rapture Pro from accessing the multisamples correctly. Then so long as your legacy paths in the Registry in Windows are set properly for your existing multisample paths, they should work properly.
 
If you still need help regarding this, please let me know via e-mail support for a little more in-depth tweaking for your particular system.

The big problem really is it's difficult for us to fix programs ourselves. Rapture Pro should offer functionality whereby we can fix libraries within the UI quickly and easily.

And if there is a best practice way of creating content (which I suspect there is noting some packs work and some do not), then Rapture Pro should also offer a validator to check packs have been created correctly.

And we should be able to save program files to any folder we like.

This is a haunted plug, this thread dates from May, '15, it's now December and I have many of the issues above, disgraceful. Combine that with almost nonexistent support and you have a picture of galloping inefficiency.

The silent legacy content and slow startup issues in this thread have been resolved and released in Rapture Pro updates. I have reached out to you by email to get more information about the problems you're experiencing. Please reply to my message and I'll be happy to further troubleshoot!

In my eyes NOT correct ... installed the newest version on OSX ... most recent Command Center .. most recent version of Rapture Pro ... so many programs are missing and not playing.  And yes .. I installed all packages. Did that twice. D-Pro Lib ... mostly unusable. Rapture Pro .. a lot of programs: no sound, nothing.

Some Additional Info:
 
- VST3 Version seems to run flawless so far, all patches are loading (Cubase 8.5 Pro x64)
- AudioUnit does not load a lot of patches, thats why mostly useless for me (Logic Pro X)
- AAX64 does not load a lot of patches, thats why mostly useless for me (Pro Tools 12.3.1)
 
My Rig: iMac 27Inch, late 2013, 20 GB RAM, OSX 10.11.2
 
Some more tests:
 
- sound in Pro Tools heavily distorted after changing buffer size for playback engine
- dimension pro presets extremly quiet .. if they get loaded
 
By the way: this is the only synths that makes trouble on my rig, no probs with NI Ultimate9 and tons of other plugins. 
 
All in all: about 70% of the advertised functions are not working (2 main plugin formats, sound library), a half year after release. Where can I contact sales department to get refunded for this crap?

Thanks for the info, we're looking into this now.

Additional infos .. maybe helpful:
 
- Rapture Session works flawless as AAX and AU too. All presets running (at the same time these presets are not running/ incorrectly leveled in Rapture Pro, distortion and / or extremly loud or quiet notes in Rapture Pro)
- Rapture Pro, Dim Pro and Rapture Classic Presets are loading correctly in Rapture Session
 
But ... of course .. I payed for a synth .. not for a limited preset player.
