Hi,

I would like to suggest some changes to the installation process.

- The first dialog is asking for a path for the 32-bit VST2. It won’t accept a blank, and I really don’t want it in the first place. Please consider asking for which components we do want instead of jumping right to the directory path…which is not the path I want or even have, bringing me to…
- Windows installation path defaults to a “Steinberg” folder. This is a relic of the ancient times and just because that’s what everyone did then doesn’t mean it should continue. I don’t have this folder (x86 or otherwise). Please consider a lower-level default that isn’t tied to another company.

Kind regards,

A
