Can't even install the game?

December 10, 2007 9:02:18 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Using Stardock I can't install the game to any drive but C:

I've installed Stardock to E:, and set all of the paths to be folders on the E: but get the message "Specified Path is invalid"

After changing the install path to a folder in the root of C:, it quite happily starts installing.

Just to be certain, are you sure you set the path without typos and to a folder that already existed? I have SDC set to install games to D:\Games on my machine, and it works fine. If you used a trailing slash on the path, that could also be the issue.

I gave it another shot, and uninstalled and reinstalled stardock being careful not to change anything but the C: to E:

And it installed! I was happy until I realised that it had installed to my C: and my PC was about to crash due to lack of disk space.

So I quickly uninstalled it and tried again on E:, but it was not successful.

Where are you changing the path at? Do keep in mind that the files will be downloaded to C:\ first unless you also change the temporary downloads folder, but they will be subsequently installed to the location specified in in the register product->games section of the settings.
