Can I delete the files in "C:\ESysData\psdzdata\swe" once I move them. Files are about 15GB and running on an ultrabook (120GB SSD), so don't want to use up more space if I don't need to. Can you please let me know.
Also - can I actually run all of the folders off of an extneral drive as opposed to my C: drive?

As far as I know it needs those files in both places, which is a ridiculous waste of disk space.
From what others have said, if you are running Vista or Windows 7 you can set up a symbolic link to make Windows think that you have the files in C:\ESysData\SWE without having to make a duplicate copy.
Here's what I did (note that I haven't tested this on the car yet as I'm still waiting for it to be delivered but the program runs fine) :-
Delete the SWE folder under C:\ESysData (it should be empty).
Run a CMD prompt with administrator privileges.
Enter this at the prompt (without the quotes):
"mklink /d C:\ESysData\SWE C:\ESysData\psdzdata\swe"
You should get a message back that says:
"symbolic link created for C:\ESysData\SWE <<===>> C:\ESysData\psdzdata\swe"
Now Windows will think there's a folder C:\ESysData\SWE and it should work.
As always, try this at your own risk ;-)
