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

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