How do I install calibre on D: instead of C: drive?

ottovdv · 02-14-2011, 04:14 PM

I have a computer with a relatively small but fast SSD drive as C:, and a big normal harddrive as D:.

On my C: drive is installed: windows 7 and the video drivers, and on D: drive are the rest of my proram files and datafiles.

My calibre library is in D:/Calibre/, but how do I get my Calibre program in D:/Program Files/Calibre2/ instead of C:/Program Files/Calibre2/

When installing, there's the point where you have to acknowledge the licence contract. After putting the hook, click on advanced instead of next.

You don't have to have the calibre program and the library on the same drive. You can put the program on the C: drive and point it to your library on the D: drive.
