Installation Drive & Folder Question
Installation Drive & Folder Question
Does P3D have to be installed on the C: Drive in the Programs Folder? Can I install it on D: Drive outside of the Programs Folder?
Re: Installation Drive & Folder Question
Yes. As a matter of fact, never install it in C:\Program Files.....

Re: Installation Drive & Folder Question
Thanks Jorgen but why do you say Never when that is LM's default installation location?
Re: Installation Drive & Folder Question
Because it's then outside the reach of UAC, and life will be so much easier if you are outside that reach.
Seriously, it will save you a lot of trouble in installing add-ons. Why on earth they pointed the install path there, I don't know.
