Hi,

I have a rather large archive of BIAB installation files dating back to 2012, and I have been thinking about deleting all the ones prior to 2019.

I am interested to know if a complete re-install of 2019, all RealTrack files (001-328) plus the 20190 patches, xtra_styles 1-6, 2019_0 and 2019_49 pack will give me a complete set BIAB files.

Do I still need to apply any of the old realtrack patches? My realtracks001-006.exe file is from 2012, has this been updated at all?

What about the 2017_49, 2018_49 and 2018_ packs? Do I have to install them again when I do a clean installation?

Many thanks for your help.
Cheers, Paul

If you have a realtracks001-006.exe from 2012 and another realtracks001-006.exe from 2018, you can delete the 2012 one. The RealTracks are updated frequently and there is no reason you need the older file of the same name. Technically installing the new one should be the same as installing the old one plus the RT patches. However if you're doing a fresh installation of everything anyways, I might suggest downloading the files from your 2019 Ultra order unless you have a cap on your bandwidth. You could set it to download overnight. Tip - change your power settings for the time being to prevent your computer from going into a sleep mode and killing the download.

Like you said, you should also install the Xtra styles and Bonus paks. In addition, you might want to also install the previous bonus PAK that includes the Video RealTracks, if that matters to you.

Hi Andrew,

many thanks for your reply. I started downloading the realtracks files and can see a huge difference in size. I'll keep downloading all the files provided in the 2019 UltraPack as per your suggestion.

All the best, Paul
