You mentioned the pluspak. If you purchased the pluspak, Eddie, then yes you must install over the previous version to get up to date. The pluspak only contains the files that changed since the previous version. The pluspak is not a complete install and relies on existing files from the previous version to bring you up to date.
Which 2016 version did you purchase?
A few comments. Neither RealBand nor BIAB registers itself in the Windows registry, so that's why you don't see it there. When you delete RealBand (or BIAB), you just delete the folders and it's gone. The only thing that goes to the registry is the association of BIAB files with the application. Although, something gets saved somewhere else, because it seems to know (well, most of the time) where I last installed the program (since I don't use the default folders).
You should write down where you install BIAB and then consistently install it to the same place everytime you update/upgrade.
So, for example, everytime I install BIAB or RealBand, I specify the following folders.
BIAB -> D:\Apps\PGMusic\BIAB
RealBand -> D:\Apps\PGMusic\RealBand
RealTracks -> D:\AppsData\Sounds\PGMusic\RealSounds (the installer will create the "RealTracks" folder under "RealSounds")
RealDrums -> D:\AppsData\Sounds\PGMusic\RealSounds (The install will create the "Drums" folder under "RealSounds")
Everytime I install a new version or an update patch, those are the folders I specify and everything gets installed in the correct location.
The only thing that is a little different is that when you open up BIAB or RealBand and specify a custom location for RealTracks and RealDrums, you have to give it the full name. So while the installation program uses the parent folder (and creates the RealTracks or Drums folder), once you are in the program I have to specify "D:\AppsData\Sounds\PGMusic\RealSounds\RealTracks" and "D:\AppsData\Sounds\PGMusic\RealSounds\Drums" as the locations to find them.
Let us know specifically which versions you have and which pak you have. For example, if you only have BIAB/RB 2012 and the 2016 PlusPak, then it's not going to work well, because you'll be missing everything in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The PlusPak is designed to be used to upgrade only the most recent version (2015 in this case).
You may know all this, Eddie, but just wanted to put it out there. Lots of folks install it successfully once they figure out the correct folders to use.
And if you are running the beta version (as RHARV indicated based on your screenshot), then they do time out after awhile and you are not launching the latest and greatest. I suspect you are using a shortcut pointing to the beta version, not the installed version.
Let use know and we'll get it figured out and you can move along to making music.

I did not want to comingle the 2016 files with the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 that I had. Apparently I should have.
I am not clean on Plus Pak. Isn't Plus Pak "more stuff" that goes on top of 2016? I have all the self dissolving archive files for 2016 and Plus Pak on top of it. However, 2 of those archives that contain real tracks were corrupted. I email 6 days ago telling PG that and have yet to hear back. I need them resent.
This is really messed up. I know there are more than 15 pianos, right? Well, that's what I have. 15 pianos.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

You do know you can login and download everything and anything of your files from your account at anytime. Or are you saying these are the corrupt ones? Eddie, this is what you get for being gone so long from the Forum.

Clarity!! I know what I did now. I was a beta tester, yes. However, I had just finished my CD and was away from the studio for a while and didn't install the beta version until after the beta period was over. Thus I did not report any bugs and did NOT get the complete version sent to me. I have now ordered it and when it gets here I can remove all those xx2016 folders I created and install the new stuff over the 2013 I have in the BB and RealBand folders. That should fix my problems and I can get started on the next CD.
Edit to add: Which I hope sells better here than the last one! LOL!!!

The Force, Eddie. Use the Force.... Funny you would mention that. When a local reviewer heard my CD he said "You're a farce, Eddie. A farce!!" Oh, you said "Force?"

Now with the new stuff installed, I loaded an older song and it may be my ears just KNOWING the new software is 3 years mo' betta, but it seems to actually SOUND better than I remember it sounding with 2013. Same everything else, just RB circa 2016.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
