Can we please have an option to *not* install Virus TI Snow stuff for users of (only) Virus TI, and vice versa? It seriously annoys me to have plugins, manuals, and template projects installed for which I have no use whatsoever. 
make plain Virus TI / Virus TI Snow *optional* install components

Seriously?.......lol
delete the VC version for the synth you dont have... quicker than writing a post complaining about it

i don't have Live in front of me right now but in other hosts you can simply deselect a plug-in in preferences and it will not show up anymore.

Yes, seriously. :pAnd no, it's not quicker at all. I have already had to delete that stuff dozens of times.

Obviously you did not understand my question, so let me rephrase it.The problem is that you are *forcing* the user to install components which should be optional. It has nothing to do with any particular host, nor with hiding installed components. I simply do not wish to have the plugins, manuals and tutorials *installed* because they are useless to me, only because Access Music is too lazy or sloppy to provide a decent install procedure.

Why are these checkboxes greyed out, without the user having an option to uncheck them?

It's not a huge problem & they don't really take up much disc space, however, if you just can't cope with them being there then make your way to
Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > Components
&
Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > VST
& simply delete the Virus TI Snow. To remove all traces of the manuals, navigate your way to
Macintosh HD > Library > Documentation > Access Music > Virus TI& delete any unwanted manuals.

Thanks, but I already know perfectly well *how* to delete things from my system. (You shouldn't assume I have named my system partition "Macintosh HD", and you forgot the tutorials.
)And, again, that is not what I'm asking for. If you read my previous posts, you should have noticed I already deleted those files many times. Which is exactly what's bothering me. If you don't care about it, good for you, but I still do. Indeed, it's not a huge problem by itself. Reluctance to address it is a completely different matter though.

Sorry dude, I was just trying to be helpful & you are correct I hadn't read your posts properly which is why I hadn't seen that you have already deleted these things dozens of times already.
About your naming system for your drives, you could have called them Ethel & Hilda for all I care but I would assume you would know where to go on your system if you were directed towards Macintosh HD just like I would also assume you would know where to look if the directory began with ~
I'll probably go & shoot myself in the face now because I forgot about the tutorials…
Peace

No need to start shooting yourselves, my friends. Your attempts to help are appreciated.
However, I'm obviously doing something wrong in my attempts to get a constructive response, and I don't know how to spell out the issue more clearly than I already did. Should I be directing my question elsewhere, perhaps?
