I Have Sonar Platinum and I NEVER use Cakewalk Command Center

Just go to your account and find your products and download SHS (and whatever else is there for it) and install manually NOT HARD.

but if you want to save some time look in

C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads

that's where CCC stores your downalods before installing. Your SHS, and all associated items (if any), will be there and you can manually just run it/them from there.

If you fell you have to use CCC you know Command center has a few options, right?

Click on the little settings icon (looks like a gear on right hand side towards top) this will open page with two tabs. Check the "verbose" check box then if you don't like where it puts your VSTs and where it stores downloaded installs open the second tab.

But no matter where you tell it to put stuff the Cakewalk Studio Instruments and all it's multisamples ~1.2 GB's will be on your C drive (not a lot unless you have a small SDD boot drive) - it takes a registry hack to move them.

Good Luck
