Installing OOTP 8 on drive other than C:

birdland · 05-21-2008, 04:56 PM

I uninstalled OOTPB 8 and saved data on a USB drive. I formatted my original hard drive. When installing OOTPB again on Vista I changed the installation setting to install to the other drive letter. OOTPB did install on that drive but for some reason it also installed the game files on the C: drive' When I open the game it cannot find my old saved games because it looks on the C: drive (where it installed an OTTP folder)and the old files are on the other drive. Is there a way to install the game with no installation on C:?

I don't think that OOTP should have installed to two different drives simultaneously. Perhaps your user data is merely stored in one. Does this help you out?

Thanks for the reply. Actually there is an option to install it anywhere. I chose to install on the D:drive but as it goes through the installation process it installs the data to C:\users\my name\documents\Out of the Park Developments. I would like to install it to D: because I format the hard drive frequently and it takes a long time to transfer the files. I'd like to keep them in one place.

Right. Did you follow my link in the above post?

Sorry I originally did not see the link. I will try it. Thanks for replying again to point out the obvious.

No, my fault. The link probably blended in with my sig. I should have pointed it out specifically.

Let us know how it goes. If you have trouble, we'll try to get it figured out.
