V28 uses a virtual environment for the Python and R code in order to ensure that it is writeable and separate from other Python and R environments.  However, you can control where extensions are installed by setting the SPSS_EXTENSIONS_PATH environment variable via the Control Panel to another location.
Mine is set like this
SPSS_EXTENSIONS_PATH = c:\extcommon3
Restart Statistics after setting this.

The SHOW EXT output shows all the locations where Statistics looks for extensions.  If you already have extensions installed from before when you set this variable, they will still be found, but newly installed ones will go to the specified location.

As far as the warning goes, I don't know where it comes from, but maybe you have a zero-byte spe file somewhere on the search path.
