If you want to hang on to them, you can symbolic link the folder anywhere you want.

snip...... but I have to confess I don't know how to change the setup of the studio instruments. ..../snip

That sounds like grounds for hosting revocation.  Out to the barn, young man!  :-D

But seriously, we'd have to be on another planet if we think Cake doesn't know this and see the CCC shortcomings.  I think Noel even mentioned about getting the older (pre SPlat) products viewable as a goal, some other stuff, and free Cake coffee mugs were also in there somewhere too.  ( I think !!)

Konradh,
I am NOT seriously mad, and took no offense.
Frustrated, yeah I am that, but NEVER take me too seriously; please.
I just can't help myself when the Emperor is naked, the SOB is NAKED; if you know what I mean.
"you can symbolic link the folder anywhere you want"
There's a thread on that somewhere.
<frustration>If the forum had a decent search feature...</frustration>
I'll ask one more time:
<question>
Does the Command Center Dim Pro installer let you install the samples to your sample drive,
or are you forced to go back and "symbolic link" or do a registry hack?
Surely someone has installed it.
</question>
And that's what I mean about "wasting my time".
Lazy is lazy, and NOT providing the end user with the option to put samples where ever you want is LAZY!
I don't care how old the software is; fix it!
Lazy is a dog that won't hunt.
And dogs that won't hunt don't eat my kibble; if you know what I mean.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm "right" on this one...

I have a nice new SSD ready to be my C: drive with a full new install and I won't do it until this is fixed. This is the only negative I have with Platinum and the new era Cakewalk. I was wrong I do have another negative and that is What is 32 bit only and how do I not install it. Two rules: no 32 bit on my system and nothing on the C: drive I don't want there. This needs to be a priority. Every plugin needs to have the option to install or not and everything should be decided by me where to install their libraries. CCC is negatively effecting the Platinum experience. That is a huge and unnecessary waste.

Thanks, DeeringAmps!  My bad for taking things too seriously!  The people here are always great.
 
Take care!

I just use the (now famous scook's) mklink Dos Command to create a link that allows me to put Multisamples and kits where I want but allowing the installer and the various programs think the data is still in the default location.
 
 

I'm pretty sure scook DID NOT invent or create or code mklink.

This is true, I did not mess with mklnk until enlighted by other forum members

That said, I might have made it the fashion.

I doubt that any, including dimpro, installers will ask where to place the files if they are run from CCC. I think it is coded to send the silent switch to the installers so they run with default settings and ask no questions.
 
I have discovered that you can download the files manually and place them in the CCC downloads folder after you have already installed them CCC will scan and detect that it is already installed the next time you run it. At least then you could load ccc to see if there are updates for the various bits and pieces.
 
I have not run all the installers manually yet but at least the Sonar installer will run in a custom setup mode if you run it manually instead of using CCC.
 
 
CCC definitely needs some love but the sonar program itself seems solid to me.
