Changing "Program Files" directory?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone been successful or know how to make windows accept a 2 level directory for Program Files?

ie: D:\Software\Programs

is 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.

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 IE

Software\\Programs

Be sure to put all slashes as doubles

IE:

D:\\Software\\Programs

Cheers

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!
