Windows 7 installation

AndesHelp · 01-23-2012, 10:01 AM

Hi Folks,

I need to install Calibre to Drive 'D:'. However, The installation insists on installing only in C:/Program Files'. Windows 7 looks for all 32-bit programs to install to the 'Program Files (x86)' directory. I use' D:/Program Files (x86)' for most programs. And, I use custom folders for work folders.

My system is built with an SSD for the main OS and additional SATA Hard Drives for everything else.

How can Calbre be installed to a different location than what appears to be hard coded in its installation instructions?

Thanks

Search for Calibre Portable. It can be installed on any drive, even a portable USB drive or SDHC card etc.

If you select the Advanced button option during install then you can put Calibre wherever ou like.

Thanks. When I did the install I did not see an 'Advanced' button. I must have been in too much of a hurry to try Calibre.
