Can't choose file location

[toon2121]

Hi,

I've recently tried to reinstall DCS after about a year of being AWOL but when I run the installer it never gives the option to pick my file location and automatically tries to install on my HDD. My HDD does not have the space for DCS and I would like it on one of my two SSD's where it would run much better anyway. I've gone through all my files and deleted every single file related to dcs in the past and it has made no difference, it just seems to skip the step where it asks my file location. My friend however got the option to choose his location? While I am being skipped, I have no idea how to fix this and can't find anything related to my issue.

Any help will be appreciated, 

thanks

There is another option if you want to try it.

 - Download the DCS installer somewhere on your disk.

- Open a Command Prompt with admin rights

- Change path to where you placed the installer

- Execute the command dcs_world_web /DIR="path where you want to install"

The CMD prompt just repeats that ''dcs_world_web is not a valid internal or external command. Am I missing something?

dcs_world_web is the installer that you downloaded… on your command prompt window, are you located on the folder where you downloaded it?

I'm not someone who ever uses command prompt so to be honest I have no idea what you're asking me to do by locating it.

I’m afraid that I cant teach you here how to use the command prompt, maybe you have a computer savvy friend that can sit at your pc and run this command for you?
