Ahh... from what you've written, I'm guessing that you have a downloaded and updated version of BIAB. I was thinking that you might have a USB drive installation. Sorry. I should have asked.

If you go to PG Music's Sales webpage...

https://www.pgmusic.com/

... and log-in into your account. Now go to "My Account" and scroll down a bit. If your version of BIAB has been registered with PG Music, you will find various installation files that you can download and install.

The one that will align the BIAB install with the D: drive will have a name similar to the one I've highlighted on the image below (this is from my 2022 installation). When you run this file, point the installation to D: drive.

If this file doesn't show up, register your product and it will appear. If you can't find your registration number, contact PG Music and they will help out.

Lastly... running the file I've indicated should install a shortcut to start the program. If it doesn't, simply edit your existing shortcut (right-click on it and select "Properties") and change the path of the Target file to D:\bb\bbw64.exe and the Start-in directory to D:\bb

Hope this helps,
Noel


Ooof, I totally get what you're saying about the installation file/minimal install, but I have one more follow up question cuz I'm a little bit unclear about (even though I'm pretty sure would be the right way but I'm too scared to do without being 100% certain due to my fear of screwing up the entire program by importing a bb folder (from my C drive, within a bb folder (in my D drive)..

Should I open C/bb, and copy pasted everything-but not the folder itself, into D/bb (also opened)? In other words, avoid having a bb folder (originally from C) within a bb folder (the one that was always within D)?

Oh, and one more question: I had also installed BiaB 2022 on another laptop (which is now a brick that I can't even boot, lol). Will I have to contact PGM support and have that laptop's registration deactivated when executing the reinstall?

Thank you sooooooo much for your time and patience!
