Why is that?
 
ETA: Ok, I see what you are saying... I deleted the VST3 folder I made. The one under common files is fine with me.
 
Thanks for pointing that out.
 
The SD2 download and install seem to be working. Takes a long time to get files, but they can be installed where I want them and lot's easier than DVDs

I am thinking to change Download location as well as Content location to make sure Rapture pro goes there. Rapture Pro includes Dimension Pro, so no need to install Dimension Pro- I never use it any way.

Well, based on my experience don't expect everything to go where you plan.
 
For instance on the C:\ drive I have under Rapture a folder with .wav samples in it.... not what I wanted.
 
On the S:\ drive I have Rapture data under a Rapture folder and few .wav in there too. But then on S:\Cakewalk Content... I have a Rapture folder with samples in various instrument folders... This latter is what I expected.
 
Why some other things get scattered in various places, I have no idea. It's not the end of the world, I'm not going to change it. It's hard to believe though that in 2017 with all the software vendors knowing people like to organize software, plugins, and samples from many different vendors into places that work for them, why they can't provide for that. It's like they try to make a mess of everything as though they were the only music software on the planet... and I don't mean Cakewalk... it seems like everyone has some special place they want things that differs from everyone else.
 
Oh, BTW, if you too are installing SD2.. each drum kit is about 20+Gigs and one option is to delete the download after it installs. So if you are worried about the use and deletion of files on an SSD

I wanted to share this article about endurance- talking about how much you can write to SSD before it locks itself and becomes "Read Only". Looks like it is ok to use it for recording, one thing to keep in mind is that SSDs can not stay without power for long.

I installed select parts of Cakewalk Sonar and Rapture Pro- it took 60 GB of my C drive. (I did not delete downloads yet). I only installed Rapture Pro, not Rapture Session. I did not install Dimension Pro or regular Rapture. Installed Z3ta 2, not Zeta classic. Did not install any loops or SI Bass, Piano and what ever else it was- only necessary stuff. All Rapture Pro samples were installed to S drive, not on C, and still- 60 GB- seriously? this is not expectable!  
 
I can not test if it works because my FireWire cable is too short. lol.
