Changed install directory but..

..games still installed to C:\Program Files

April 14, 2009 9:24:08 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I changed the settings so that all my games would be installed on another hdd than c:\program files - But all the games were installed to c:\program files even though it was supposed to install to e:\games.

Is it safe to just move those games? The games that have been installed are:
Braid
Demigod
Sins of a solar empire (+exp)

Any clue on why they weren't installed correctly or is it a bug?

Thanks.

The preference dialog has install options for My Games,and my Software.  Did you change the instll directory for one or the other or both??

So sorry. I didn't realise those were that kind of options. I just saw e:\games and figured "duuh ok" like every other village idiot.


thank you!

do you think it's safe to move them?

Unless you used the "Download and archive" option it's easier to uninstall/reinstall.  There are enough reg keys to make it a pain in the ass I think.

I just ran into this. You have to make sure and click the "Prompt for install directory" button in the preferences.
