OK, that clears things up a bit. it is the original Philharmonik ("MP1").
But, again, why is the program installed on the D: drive. Why are you not using the C:/ drive for the software? My suggestion below should only be followed if you know what you are doing and may not work for programs that are not on the C:/ drive.
--------------------
Let's get the sounds library sorted out first. On your D:/ drive:
-- create a folder name D:/IK Multimedia
-- drag your D:\Instruments into it
-- and rename D:/IK Multimedia/Instruments to D:/IK Multimedia/Philharmonik
-- you should see sub-folders for Brass, Choirs etc
-- start the standalone Philharmonik program, choose the D:/IK Multimedia/Philharmonik folder in its Preference settings and make sure you can load and play the instruments.
Now, for Cubase (and the standalone Philharmonik) not keeping the Sounds Library location:
-- that location is stored in a Preferences file in C:\Program Files (x86)\IK Multimedia\Miroslav Philharmonik\Preferences
-- Windows 7 onwards (and Vista) prevent user programs modifying files in various folders (including Program Files, Program Files (x86), Windows) and Registry keys.
-- so you could load MP1 in Cubase and change the path but that path will not be written to the file on disk.
The workaround is to run your DAW "as Administrator":
-- right-click the .exe file,
-- select "Properties", then the [Compatibility] tab,
-- tick the "Run this program as an administrator", then click [OK].
Then when you select the path again, the path change should be written to disk.
Note that "Run this program as an administrator" is not the same as logging in using an Administrator account.
After you are happy that the path is remembered, you might be able to uncheck that option.
