This is all in fun, right guys?
'Cause we all DO agree the C drive should be "lean & mean"?

It's fun for me.  Yes, lean and mean C drive.  Well, no.  That's not the real point.  The point AFAIC is installation flexibility, which will certainly mean a lean and mean C drive ... and more!

For those of us that have moved (and not junctioned) folders from previous versions and made the appropriate registry entries, does the new CCC install a duplicate (say Dim Pro for example) on the C drive and overwrite the modified registry entries?

I've witnessed over the years, people have "fun" in all kinds of sick, unorthodox ways. Nowadays, not too much is really shocking how people will act and stomp their feet demanding.  It really boils down to Cake's install methods.... and currently they are what they are.  If you're going to complain like a 6 yr old brat, you'll get treated like one.  Then at some point, you ignore the immaturity from these people, because they really don't know any better.  No respect.

I've got Cake's content on my C drive and ALL my other programs as well.  Yes...I'd like some of the media content on my other drives and figure that could occur later.
 
What I DON'T understand is I'm ONLY using 95gb of my C drive at this point.  I'm NOT running a SSD drive, but even so, that would NOT fill up the smallest SSD drives.  I consider myself a typical user of Sonar, so I might expect my amounts to be *normal*.  Seems I NEVER hear people screaming about Windows Updates.  That's a HUGE offender, that I've seen.

I wonder what all these people have on their C drives that are using up their 240gb of space.  Must be a lot of other non-audio related stuff as a guess.



I have 49.3 GB free of 238 GB on my C drive (so almost 200 GB used). The last thing I want is installers not giving me the option of choosing an install location. For example, let's say a DAW or something that can end up taking a lot of space.
 
Saying that in your case you don't have a lot installed on your C drive, and hence it can't possibly be a problem for other people is a bit short sighted.
 
Not just that, but DAW systems are often custom built with a dedicated OS drive and a dedicated samples drive. So of course we should be able to specify an install location. 
 
This isn't 1995 anymore. For something as complex and large as Sonar, specifying an install location has to be one of the features at the top of the priority list.

In 1995 I had a custom built computer with 4 SCSI drives, that could handle the complex programs of the day.  The content you don't want on your SSD, remove it or move it for now.  It's that difficult because??

What happened to the 500gb SSD  that you said you ordered in this thread? (post #27)http://forum.cakewalk.com/Recommendations-for-a-new-desktop-DAW-system-m3176629.aspx

That will be my new system, which I don't have yet. It only shipped out two days ago on Friday. My current system has a 256 GB drive. But it isn't just about available disk size. Some systems have dedicated SSDs for performance reasons, for instance.

Not that it really matters. No one needs to explain why they need to be able to specify an install location.
