Question 1: During installation, is there a way not to install RealBand but everything else?
No. The initial Band-in-a-Box executable file for Windows installs both programs. Update files are program specific.

The RealBand folder can be deleted without creating any adverse effects to Band-in-a-Box or the Band-in-a-Box plugin. To safely test this idea, rename the RealBand folder. Everything in Band-in-a-Box will work the same.

Question 2: If RealBand is not installed, is BiaB going to encounter issues when running?
No. BiaB does not rely on RealBand to do anything.
