changing the instalation folder location

[bushido]

hello.

 

 

My DCS folder is installed on a SSD that is now almost full.

 

 

I would like to move my DCS installation to another SSD harddrive, is there an easy way to do it (like copy paste the whole folder) or do I have to uninstall everything and re-dowload the whole thing on the new location ?

 

 

Thanks for any info on the subject.

Thanks Silverdevil, I will try. Look like a simple copy paste is enough.

So I confirm it work. Just do a simple copy paste and then change the shortcut target and voila.

I'd also suggest fixing the Path in the registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World [OpenBeta]\

 

If you install several copies, the updater tries to pick files from the ones it find in the registry, where appropriate. This reduces DL traffic.
