Hi everybody!
I have C and D partitions. New app requires to be installed only to C, but i have no enough space for the installation and resizing the partitions is not an option.
How can i cheat the OS, and install the app on D drive, but Windows will think that it is installed on C?
Thank u very much for your time
If you have the ability to reformat, resize and reinstall, then image the c: partition and store it in d:. Then restore the image onto the newly resized c: partition.
Yeah it is possible but, is there any "more harmless" way to do it? Like mirroring the folder or smthng?
Regards
You can use symlinks to achieve that. If you create a junction point in program files in C pointing to D, and then direct the installer to that folder, it will think it's installing in C when actually the files will go to D.
Here is a post on SF that explains on this: https://www.sevenforums.com/installat...ation-how.html
While it speaks about my documents, it's perfectly valid for program files as well.
@Alejandro85, thank u very much, exactly what i needed!
