I really don’t like it when a program tells me: “in order to install me you need to give me the keys to the kingdom”. Upon running the installer for the download assistant, it asks for my admin password (on Mac OSX). There are people (like me) who have absolutely no or very little use for such a library, or already have one. But I think you could have made that a separate, optional download. I understand that you want to include a state of the art sounds library, and that that’s also what’s taking up so much space. For comparison, Adobe Indesign is about 1.0GB, Photoshop is about 1.3GB, Finale is about 385MB (!), Sibelius is about 900MB.
