October 18, 200520 yr Has anyone been successful or know how to make windows accept a 2 level directory for Program Files?ie: D:\Software\Programsis it a matter of using a double backslash ? D:\Software\\Programs?I can successfully get it to change during install to any one-tiered directory, but not more.
February 7, 200620 yr Im having this issue too.Using his example path, what if we add a line like this "mkdir d:\software" during the install?
February 8, 200620 yr You could edit the txtsetup.sif part of the setup to make the two new directories or, VascoMan stated, call a mkdir to make both the software and the software\programs directories.Also if you need to use the double slash path IESoftware\\ProgramsBe sure to put all slashes as doublesIE:D:\\Software\\ProgramsCheers
February 8, 200620 yr Author Well a much belated response But cool, will have to give that a go on the next wipe.
February 8, 200620 yr I am not quite sure and didn|t test it till now, but I think, that some time ago I read somewhere, that for Programfiles directory is only allowed level 1 directory.
February 8, 200620 yr I am not quite sure and didn|t test it till now, but I think, that some time ago I read somewhere, that for Programfiles directory is only allowed level 1 directory.Nope. I use a 2nd tier directory as my Program Files.
February 17, 200620 yr How do you change the environmental variable temporarily? Meaning, I change it for one install only, then change it back...I've seen a post on this, but can't find it now. This is how I happened upon this thread.btw, great avatar and nick, Crash&Burn. Twitch is an amazing album!
February 17, 200620 yr I found it. For those that might wonder. Here's the syntax:SET ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files
February 18, 200620 yr Author btw, great avatar and nick, Crash&Burn. Twitch is an amazing album!Thanks I just checked the CD copywrite...1985 and it still kicks a**. Most 80s music just doesn't stand up today.
