How about Melodyne essentials?. I have Editor - can i skip install of ME within command centre? Also getting antsy on the eve if the big install.

Melodyne Essential is an independent install so no you don't have to install it. 

Again for clarity. When I say "independent install" I mean it has its own item listing in the Command Center.  

The installers have been reorganized and each one installs are small portion of the full Platinum package.
 
If the machine already has X3 Producer installed, all anyone needs to install are SONAR Platinum, Anderton FX Chain Collection and  SONAR Help and Tutorials (if the local help file is desired).
 
No need to download any of the other packages.

I installed Platinum several days ago from C3, and, as I stated, chose "not to install Dim Po in the Command Centre.  I only installed Sonar and Craig's FX."
 
I was unsure only about Session Drummer 3, as I have not used it for sometime, so could not be certain if it installed with the core program or not without checking.

Alright so you CAN cherry pick certain elements of Sonar to install when using Command Center, thanks for this.

What I am saying for clarity is its bundled in one of the instrument collections. Its not a choice you can make of it on its own. And because its not separately listed you don't have a means to install it alone. 
 

Sorry for my misinterpretation, now I understand that Dim Pro is a separate installation and can be deselected in Command Center.
 
Thanks again,

Great! Looking forward to checking it out tomorrow!
