I run the game in I drive so it doesn't really matter where you have it located as long as you keep it all in the same folder. As for deleting all of those files in C drive, I am not sure you need to do that as the ones in my folder are all empty anyway. OOTP just throws them in there whether you have your game in them or not. A lot of programs do that so that I have tons of folders with nothing in them. I think it is best to leave them there as the game will just put them in there again, anyway.

I would back up my elicense though. I do. I put it in several places where I keep keys to programs and other important information. That way, even if I lose one harddrive, I have it on several others. Just good practice. I also maintain a complete copy of the sim in a rar file in another harddrive. Of course, not everyone runs four very large harddrives as I do but hey, I want to make sure I have enough space for anything. And I do!

Anyway, good luck with the install. And it doesn't matter where you put it as long as it is all there. The only thing that might confuse you is when people on the forum here talk about putting something in certain folders. Those are normal setup folders. You just have to figure out where your directories are in relationship to the normal setup. It isn't hard the figure out though. The end folders are the important things to know.

I would reinstall the entire game with the newest version and update. And do it in another place if you don't feel comfortable with deleting anything or overwriting something that you don't want to be overwritten.
