One thing I do to handle this problem, is to download the update file to my
Windows Desktop. I double-click the file to expand the files, then use Explorer
to drag the newly-created Ldraw folder into the right position.
This also makes it easier to browse the files in the update, looking for
important notices (which typically are written to ldraw\models), and any other
interesting bits.
