Maybe I am too stupid, but..:
Why does the real guitar 5 installer asks me where to install real guitar?
Of course I think that the essential components (MAC) will be installed where they HAVE to be in order to function properly and my choice will only change the folder where the big sample files will be installed to.

So I chose "HD3 SAMPLES" - and the installer is creating a "library" folder - and a "Applications"-folder ... wtf?
Thankfully, everything is easy to solve. Moving the component- and the application-Files in the correct folders - and everything works fine. Moving the sample-files is also easy because real guitar asks you to locate the files if it doesn't find them when started. But a little confusing again: I opened Real Guitar 5 classic first - and I have to locate the sample files. OK - but locating the folder isn't enough. But - which is the correct file? Acoustic or steel? No idea... I'm new to real guitar 5. Have been using RG2 before.
However, it doesn't matter which file you choose, it will work fine.
Dear musiclab team, I love and use your plugins since 10 years, but add a few lines to the manual like:
"Choose your startup drive for installing to make sure the program and component files are installed into the correct directories. It's easy to remove the sample files after installing because the plugin will ask you to locate them."

Ha! Same would've happened to me. Something didn't seem right, so I just went with standard installation. This has to be the only plugin installation that a location change affects non-sample files.

I'm feeling even more stupid as I'm confused by the instructions for moving samples to an external drive. What is a Bank Manager? Where do I find them?
