Installing onto different drive D: drive issues

[Jason Thompson]

Hi,

 

I went to install VPilot onto the D Drive as my Flight simulator programs and Simconnect files are on the D drive.

 

But it doesn't give me the option of installing onto a different Drive how can I rectify this?

 

Thanks

Easiest and most reliable way? Don't. Let it install itself where it wants to be installed.

There is no reason why you would not have been given this option.

When I built the installer for vPilot, I decided to follow the same approach that Google Chrome takes. It installs in your user account's application data folder so that you can install it even without administrator rights on the system. Since the installed files are so small, 3.9MB, I figured it is not necessary to be able to install it on a separate drive. (If you don't have a few megs free in your user account's appdata folder, you've got bigger problems.)

 

If you really want to have the files somewhere else, feel free to move them. They'll run from anywhere, as long as they are kept together. (Including the sounds folder.)

 

For version 2, I'll probably have an "advanced" button on the installer that lets you override the install location.

Guys,

 

Thanks for the response it's fine on C Drive and not taken much space apart from the error message which shows up but think I'll have to do a separate post.

 

Regards
