Install DesktopVideo to drive other than C:

PostTue Mar 04, 2014 4:17 am

Hello All,

I need to install DesktopVideo onto a drive other than C:

I did not see a way to do this during the installation process.

Am I missing something, or is this possible?

I am trying to do the same thing. There is not enough space on my SSD C: drive. How do I get it to install on a second drive? There is no option in the installation for this.

Thanks

Looks like this should be added to the "bugs" or future upgrades list then.

It most definitely is a Bug! There is no good reason a well-designed software package should be restricted to one particular drive on the user's hardware. Third-party software should be flexible to the user's needs, not the other way around!
