  6. Change install dir:

    • get the EarSketch installer,
    • launch it, install Reaper and EarSketch to the default location => C:\Program Files{EarSketch, REAPER (x64)},
    • install the other softs (Python 2.7 and its extensions, Kommodo) where they belong,
    • move the REAPER (x64) folder to a new location,
    • edit the registry value [HKEY\LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\REAPER] to reflect this new location,
    • edit the Actions menu file to reflect the new Plugins folder locations [%appdata%\REAPER\reaper-kb.ini],
    • (restart Reaper),
    • clean the cache.
