install location Calibre
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and am not sure if this is the correct place to ask my question.

I want to install Calibre on a specific location, other that the standard (Windows) Program Files location. [That is a very large container without any ordering of tools, etc....! ]

Does anyone know how to do this? I can move the directory after the installation, but than links are wrong. Ofcourse I can change the links, but ther must be a better way to tell Calibre where I want the tool to be installed.
[And I could not find the information on the manufacturers site....]

Thanx for the feedback.

You originally posted this in the "Introduce Yourself" forum, where... people introduce themselves!
But it seems your post was now moved to the calibre subforums, which is where you can ask questions about calibre specifically.

...

There should be an option in the Advanced Setup to choose the installation directory? ISTR Windows installers have that option... (Sorry, been a while since I used Windows...)

If not, you could use calibre Portable.

Just click the Advanced button in the installer.
