Just a though, it's been quite sometime and I've since customized my installation. You could always run a file-find for fritz.chb to locate it. If it's not on your hard-drive and you want it to be you might just drag-n-drop it from your CD. Remove the read only file attribute if you wish to change entries in it. It's much less hassle than uninstall/reinstall. The thing that's a mess is Fritz's desire to mess with c:\My Documents at all. It should not be this way. Also they should prompt for where you want the ChessBase folder before prompting for the Fritz 6 folder location. It would be more intuitive for most users. I think the intention is to end up with something like: drive:\XXXXXXXXXXX\ChessBase\ drive:\XXXXXXXXXXX\ChessBase\Fritz6 Yet they allow you to do something else if you wish, and make a mess. Also, I recall I edited several path names in F6.ini to try and get away from items being placed under c:\My Documents\, but I could have just as well let it install there to save the trouble.
