Antonio Palmieri Posted September 24, 2008 at 01:09 AM Posted September 24, 2008 at 01:09 AM Hi. a. Does the X-Plane installation change anything in the windows registry? b. If it doesn't , is X-plane on windows installed like on a Mac, kind of just drop in the folder... no dll, etc? c. The real question: If I install a fresh copy of X-Plane on drive "X", but next week I get a new harddisk and I move the whole of the X-Plane folder to the new drive "Y", do I get into trouble? Normally yes, I know, I am talking about MS. But I'm asking because I got the feeling that X-Plane on Win got installed... "Mac style" Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Mac style" Antonio a. nope, nada. b. it's all self-contained within the xplane root c. No, you don't get in trouble. All paths are relative to the xplane root. Case in point, feel free to rename the xplane folder to something else. What you suspect might be true is actually true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
