Ditto - I have the app and plugin installed on my C: and the samples on an external SATA drive.   Works well.
 

Sidroe,
Thanks for your help. Restarting my computer removed the not responding message. I guess my question is:
Do the GPO5 extracted files have to be on the C drive or can they remain on the F drive and I still install the GPO5 program on the C Main drive?
Thanks

I installed my samples to my F Library drive with no issue. It did create a folder for GPO5 called Program files that I wouldn't have done.
 
It would be good to know if GPO4 has things that 5 doesn't! I haven't installed GPO4 on my studio desktop (it came after I upgraded to 4), but will if that is the case.

Interview with Gary Garritan

I have always installed the program on the same drive as my OS. The samples library always go on a secondary drive. This is done with a custom install instead of the default. Of course, some synths have trouble locating the sample data if it was installed anywhere other than with the synth program.  DimPro comes to mind. Other people here have gotten it to work but I just cannot get DimPro to find the samples unless they are on the OS drive with the synth. The same with Rapture. Maybe I'll try it again since all the upgrades the last couple of years.
BTW, both my desktop and my laptop have internal secondary drives so I can keep my samples off of my OS drive.

Interview with Gary Garritan

In the interview, Garritan states:
"GPO 5 is more than just a major upgrade, it is almost a new product altogether. However, it includes all the previous sounds of GPO 4 so previous projects can still sound the same."

WTF ALERT! I thought I would make the jump and Un-install GPO 4 since it was totally unnecessary to have it eating up room on my hard drive. YIKES! Loaded up a project and no older projects loaded the samples in Aria player. The names of the instruments were there but because the samples were gone, NO SOUNDS? 
It's not over yet, campers!
I tried to delete Aria and Sonar crashed so hard it lost the drivers for the Studio-Captures AND Sonar would not start up until I re-booted!!!!! After the third re-boot, I figured out that I had to just delete the entire audio track with the old plugin, recreate the audio track, re-choose Aria Player, and reload the instruments!!!!!!!!
Now I have to spend weeks revisiting hundreds of legacy projects for my live gigs just to use what I already had. Oh, well, I was going to have that job ahead of me anyway as I wanted to try out the GOS on some tunes. I do have some that Miroslav 2 will stay on.
This has been a huge cluster %=_÷*&^ !!!!!!!!!!!
What ever you do, DO NOT UNINSTALL GPO4 IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY!!!

Sidroe,
So sorry to hear of your disaster! Thanks for alerting we others of this.😟

Sidroe, better take it up with MakeMusic, as Garritan clearly said: "GPO 5 is more than just a major upgrade, it is almost a new product altogether. However, it includes all the previous sounds of GPO 4 so previous projects can still sound the same." (see my post above)

Whoa! Hang in there Sid. Good luck..... maybe there's an easier way back/forward.
 
I uninstalled my GPO4 but didn't have any projects with it. However I didn't keep the install file and can't go back, though I suppose with Fleer's news, I suppose it won't matter to me.
