I run a small SSD for my C: drive so I only want system files on it. I was able to install the high-quality samples to my application folder but Sample Tank does not give me an option and insists on installing to the c: drive, which is unacceptable. But then it doesn't matter anyway, because BiaB cannot find the samples I installed.
1) Is there anyway to install Sample Tank to the correct folder?
2) Is there any way to tell BiaB where the samples are?

My Sampletank installed to C Program Files in a folder "IKMultimedia" and since it writes to Windows Registry, I don't think there is any way to run it standalone on another drive.
But it doesn't Write to disk very much, so I don't think that would be a problem for SSD users, but space may be?

The main program installs to the C: drive, but you can install the sounds/patches wherever you want to.

Duh?
I have whole program, except IK Authorization Manager (and even that you tell/select where to install!) installed on my D: drive, along with AmpliTube, SampleTron, SampleMoog, SonicSynth 2, Miroslav Philharmonik, CSR, T-Racks 3, (BIAB, Garritan, Kontakt,....) and all ST sound libs including Band in a Box HI-Q stuff.
Simply tell it to install there on the FIRST install screen.
Then run ST and point to where instruments path is (under ST "Prefs") are then hit "Relist" and ST knows where to find all libs from then on.
I even just did a "Regedit" to confirm that registry points to all the installed locations.

PS I think it does make a IK Multimedia folder under "Program Files" (for Win XP) or "Program Files (x86)" for Win 7 but is essentially empty (maybe some uninstall info??). It's been a while - when I first installed it last year - to see if I wanted to play with it I left it all go to default (C drive various locations) but then I de-installed and reinstalled on D:\ which left some remnants on C:\ that I later deleted\cleaned up

The main Sample Tank program always installs to the c:\ drive. But it is a small program so I suppose I can live with it.
The problem is that BiaB cannot find the instruments. I get an "Instrument not found" error when I select form the list. I also get a warning in that big yellow info box that it cannot find any instruments on the c: drive.
Sample Tank, on the other hand, knows where the patches are, but it gives me a completely different problem. When I play the instruments through Sample Tank they sound like crap, like there is some sort of decoding error.

Meh. I thought I saw something but it is just the text files for the HI-Q patches are installed in the BiaB folder. Still cannot figure out how to get Sample Tank to work properly.

Problem fixed. You have to run BiaB in administrator mode to be able to set ST Prefs. I do not think it says that anyplace but ST will give you weird error if you do not. Also, the ST "PREFS" button was not at all obvious.
It also sounds fine inside BiaB. If I run ST externally it sounds terrible.

1. You figured out how to get ST to find sound/library files - great! (As a completely trivial aside, you can change the ST interface color also. If you look to the extreme right hand side of the ST window you see three SMALL rotary dials in a vertical configuration labeled : "col", "lum," and "sat" tweak to your heart's content)
2. Let's forget about the "install on different drive" topic for now (trust me it's easy-peasy)lets work on your "bad ST audio" issue, maybe we can get that going better.
At top left corner of ST window under "Settings" -> "Audio MIDI setup" is it ASIO or Directx? (or something else?).
FYI an ASIO driver using the popular app ASIO4ALL is probably going to be your best bet. However, I/we don’t know your computer, OS, and audio setup so shooting in the dark as to what to tell you right now.

In Sample Tank Under "Settings> Audio Midi setup" there is a buffer size setting. You may need to increase this buffer setting if it sounds like crap. Also on this screen is driver and sample rate settings as well as some others. Make sure these are set correctly.
