1. Add a button to the bundle shortcuts labeled "Currently Installed" to preselect only those products that are currently installed.
2. Have some kind of indicator showing which plugins are part of the free bundle.
3. Check the previous default vstplugins path like the old installer did. The new installer wanted to put them into a new folder, which would have resulted in duplicates if I hadn't noticed.
Suggestions for making the new installer friendlier

Thanks for the feedback:
1. I don't really understand what do you mean. Could you elaborate a little more? If you want it to check which products you have installed before V9 then I'm afraid that won't be done, too complex.
2. Why?
I don't see any positives about this, in fact it seems to me very contradictory to what I want
.
3. I'm not sure what you mean - the new installer has the defaults as well as the previous one. It might not have remembered the same settings, but that's a little complex thing as well. If you'd use standard paths such as c:/program files/vstplugins, then it should have worked. If you are using some "specific paths", which is generally not recommended, then I'm afraid you are on your own and you'll always have to be careful.

Thanks for replying, Vojtech.
I see now that these are not problems, because when I re-ran the installer it remembered my last-selected items and restored my last-specified path. It just didn't pick them up from previous installers, which is no big deal.
Presumably, the next update will remember today's settings, making this installer a vast improvement over downloading and running many individual installers. Thanks for another great update!

Yes, the installer should from now remember everything
.
And thank you!
