I have my Download directory relocated to my D: drive, as well as any other data-related directories (for My Documents, My etc.). However, apparently the drive spec in the installation file is hard-coded to point to C drive. I get a message the installation file cannot be found when the install proper begins if I leave it where it downloaded (on D:). If I copy the msi file to the original location on my C: drive it works. I've noticed this hard-coding with some other program installations, and it really should be changed to allow running the installation from other than C: especially since Windows allows relocation of these standard directories.
have you tried 4.3.5.2? is it the same?
(In reply to tommy27 from comment #1) > have you tried 4.3.5.2? > is it the same? 4.3.5.2 was the version I was installing. So it's an ongoing problem. There must be some generic code/object being picked up by developers that has the hardcoding issue, because I've encountered it in msi's to install other software.
