Does anyone know where the best file location to install the library files that come as a separate download, but not installable with an .exe or anything? I believe that you just open and copy to a file location, but which location is best?

Hi Gregg, If I remember I could import a library directly from the menu interface if I remember what I did. But as a tip( i think a good tip anyway), do not download all the parts you want in one file, otherwise you have one library with all your parts.
Make individual download in 'categories', make a list and download all the say resistors, this way when you import them you will have a resistor category, etc same for capacitors and each part type. I you do not do this, you will have one import - library category of everything you selected do download. Doing selections of each category of each type of item will make you library list nice and organized from the start.
After you have this you can import, i do not remember having to paste the download to any library folder.
