OK, getting frustrated here with add-ons

[Pdubya64]

Alright:
After installing the latest version, I have read the various ways of adding real logos, pics, jerseys, etc. and have gotten both separate files from another website with them and also used the in-game "add-ons" feature.
The separately downloaded files don't seem to work when placed in the games subdirectories, so I tried the add on method.
Here is the problem- everyone keeps saying it will install these or those files to \My Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9\, the PROBLEM is on my own computer that is named Pdubya I have this:

E:\Documents and Settings\Pdubya\My Documents\ootp9

that's it. No subfolders, no files, not anything that looks remotely like what everyone is describing. Did I miss something simple here or what?
Sorry, but I am losing my patience with this...

If you're using Windows Vista*
Here's the skinny. When you installed the game OOTP attempts to install on the C: drive. Did you change the path yourself?

This is where and how both folder paths should read-

C:\Users\owner\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9

C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9

*all pictures and logo's go into the images folder of your saved league
ie.- C:\Users\owner\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9\saved_games\your league name.lg\news\html\images

Ahh, I am actually running a dual boot system with C: drive Vista and E: drive XP Pro. I game with XP because my Vista is a 64-bit version. The game was wanting to install to E: and I did change it to F:, which is a faster drive.
Should I reinstall TC? Oh, and if so, do I need to worry about unlicensing before uninstalliing the game if it is reinstalled on the same PC?

You can safely uninstall, the e-license remains on your control panel.

OK, with help from Tycobbler I figured this out- seems that Markus might need to look at how the installer handles doing custom installs of OOTP9.

I have 64-bit Vista on C:, D: is DVD, E: is XP Pro, F: is Raptor HD. I do the majority of game installs on XP just to make life easier. So I decided to install to F: because it is quite a bit faster than the 1TB Seagate that currently houses C: and E:.
Here is where I messed up I think... when I was at the box with the install location written and a "Change" button, I didn't click the change button, I just highlighted the "E" and changed the drive letter to "F".
I just got done doing a re-install and things are located in a much different manner. All the data files are now correctly under My Documents, with the bad install they were under the game directory and nothing was installed to My Documents except one folder named \ootp9. Needless to say, the game didn't like what I did to it, so "don't try this at home kids!"
