I think the problem you are having with folder selection is that I don't believe it appears until after the initial screens where you select what you want to install.

I've never had a problem with that, either from USB drive or DVD media (and believe me, I have installed every single version since v8, as per my recent post about the "Evolution of PGMusic").



After talking to 1.5 PG Music tech reps, I believe I have gotten to the bottom of my most recent problem.

Here's what happened.
When I was trying to install onto my clean 160G USB drive last night I chose the 4th option; 'Custom installation'.

Right after that screen, I was presented with a screen asking if I wanted to:
-Install fonts
-Install plugins
-Install BIAB and Realband to another drive
-Copy RT and RD folders to another drive

Right after that screen, BIAB sized up my c: drive, and found it had only 11G space left. It said BIAB required 40G space.
It then asked if I wanted to proceed or cancel the installation.

What would you do in a situation like that?
I know what I would do. Cancel the installation.
That's what I did and posted about it here.

Today after I told a tech rep that I wanted to do an installation to my 160G USB drive, they advised me to choose the 3rd option; 'Normal 40G installation and yada yada".

It didn't complain about lack of disk space and allowed me to choose where I wanted to install BIAB2011.

I have just completed 2011 installation and will attempt my 2015 installation shortly.
