Hi, This problem needs a bit of background explanation.

I am trying to install BIAB 2016 and then install the BIAB 2018 upgrade files. I have the BIAB 2016 ultrapack. I got it on the external drive. I originally installed it to run from the external drive but the installer put some files on the C drive. So later the external drive started acting up so I copied everything to the D drive of the machine where I was running BIAB from. I fiddled around with it and got it to run from that D drive. So I had to reformat my C drive again and I am currently installing all the software (my image return failed). So I went to the D drive folder "D:\BIAB_2016_UltraPlusPAK" and clicked setup.exe. It told me it could not find the installers. There are four of them it complained about. So I did a windows find command on the D:\BIAB_2016_UltraPlusPAK folder and found the installers in the "D:\BIAB_2016_UltraPlusPAK\PGMusic\Installers" folder. I was thinking I would just run them directly from there in the same order that it was complaining about not finding them. However since it is lunch time :-) I though I would see if anyone has any cautions about going ahead with this idea or suggestions.

What I find interesting is if I click on the 'Band-in-a-Box.exe" file within the D:\BIAB_2016_UltraPlusPAK folder it actually runs and if I set up the associations I can click on my C drive BIAB song files and it actually plays them. I guess the association stores where the BIAB .exe file is located. Unfortunately when I close BIAB it aborts so I figure I may as well get it set up correctly. I am guessing it wants some windows registry entries.

Thanks for any help,
John
