Title: Yet another PC question. Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, February 11, 2008, 14:08:39 Right.
I have an exe file (A game), which I want to install. The thing is that runnning the file begins the installation without asking me which drive I want it on, instead it automatically installs onto the C: drive which is too small, and I want it on my D: drive anyway. I have tried using winrar to extract to, but that doesn't work. So how do I get this game to install on my D: drive, is there a cmd line prompt that I should use or somefink?

What are you trying to install? Title: Yet another PC question.

What are you trying to install? It's a game which has been downloaded from a torrent. And has been packaged (Cracked) into one file. I have opened it with winrar and installing from there starts of normally, giving me the option of which drive to install to but then fails because it can't find all of the data. The other starts to install fine though, and only fails when I run out of space. It's obviously put together to avoid the copyright palava. Any ideas, asides from stop being a cheap cunt and buy the game of course. Title: Yet another PC question.

Instead it just goes right ahead and installs to C: without me having any say in the matter. Title: Yet another PC question. Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 11, 2008, 14:59:31 Buy a Dell.

Otherwise it's probably because it wants to install within a shared apps location in the C drive. Perhaps if you install for a single user only?
Title: Yet another PC question. Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, February 11, 2008, 15:19:06 OK, I sussed it.
I had to exctract all files using winrar to a normal folder, as opposed to a winrar or any .zip folder, and then install from the extracted .msi file. Installed now and working. I hope the game is a good'un. Still gotta do some work for another 2 hrs though. CUNT. Title: Yet another PC question.
