Thank you both. I did not delete the download files from the installer, so I can just go ahead and install on my X drive. I'll first do an inventory of all my installation, from my old 2017 version to the new ones I just purchased to make sure I didn't forget anything.

I opened the program manager in windows (Apps and Features) and I realized that none of the BIAB apps are listed there.
All I could find listed (searching under "band", BIAB, box) were:

Band-in-a-Box DAW Plugin 4.5.33
Band-in-a-Box Download and Install Manager 1.0.48

I don't need to uninstall either of those but it means that once I installed BIAB on my X drive all I have to do is delete the BIAB and the "RealBand" folder?
Seems way too reasonable compared to other windows programs.

As I mentioned, I don't really use "Realband". I am fluent with Cakewalk, Studio One, Mixcraft and a smattering of other DAWs (Mixcraft pro was a gift from my wife, but I found it very useful for some specific features other DAWs don't share), but I never clicked with Realband. I had issues with making my soundcard work with it, but then again that's par for the course with any DAW on windows. I guess part of it is the interface. It takes me back to 1994 when I started messing around with BIAB (or was it 1992? Who knows?)

Anyway, it looks like I can start installing on my X drive, I'll run a sync script I have to make sure I don't leave behind any files I have created in the meantime and then I'll delete the C:\bb and C:\RealBand folders.
Does it sound like a plan?
