So Synchronet wasn't previously installed on that system (VM). The upgrade*.exe program automatically pulls the installation location from the registry (so it would have been prepopulated with "c:\synchronet" in the target folder prompt) *and* the SBBSCTRL environment variable would have been set already as well. The fact that the prerequisite MSVC libraries weren't already installed (as demonstrated in the video) is another good clue that Synchronet wasn't previously installed on that system.

I don't see anything to change from my perspective.
