can i use the /D switch to all my software to specify their destination drive/directory?

we normally have C:\Windows & i want to install my Applications to D:\Programs because i have 4 partitions...

thnx in advance...

no. Only certain Installation routines allow for this. NSIS does if the creator activates it. Inno might not sure. Windows Installer usually uses a INSTALLDIR that you MIGHT be able to override

thnx.. for the reply...

innosetup uses /DIR=

I have only ever come accross a couple of apps which didn't install to <Chosen_Drive>:\Program Files.

As long as your Program Files location is correctly defined in the registry at D:\Whatever, you should only ever come across this problem with poorly written programs.

I use this philosophy, if it doesn't look for %ProgramFiles% only C:\Program Files, then it's badly written. Badly written applications will never have the privilege of being hosted on my PC.

do u think i hav entered this correctly Yowlz?

[unattended]

UnattendMode = FullUnattended

OemSkipEula = Yes

OemPreinstall = Yes

TargetPath = \WINDOWS

Repartition = No

FileSystem = *

UnattendSwitch = "yes"

ProgramFilesDir = "D:\Programs"

CommonProgramFilesDir = "D:\Programs\Common Files"

if so, then adding /D switch will work?
