Well, yes... you're sort of right. When you first install Shredder 7 Classic it
suggests a default directory, which I assume 95% of all users will accept. When
you install the Shredder 7 endgame orace patch (or the Paderborn engine) a
default directory is suggested which is spelt differently to the default
directory used by the CD's installation program. There's an extra blank in the
directory name. So if you accept the new default directory, it creates a new
directory and sends the files there.

I was temporarily confused by this when I installed the new engine. When in
doubt, use "Browse". It's not really an error... Chessbase was just sloppy.
