      If you can customize the install, then one could theoretically place the installed files anywhere the OS permits according to security and file protection. And, oh, yeah, no I've never had a problem with that. If your D: drive is a CD/DVD drive, and the MSI keeps asking for it, it may be an "advertised" feature that is installed upon first use. Just put the install CD in the drive in that case. Otherwise, you need more detail in your post about what exactly is happening.

        Well I can open the MSI up in orca and mess around with it that way, but as is, I have some computers with a c and d hard drive. some times it inexplicably installs to the d drive when there is enough space to install to the c drive. is there something with msi that maybe says install to the drive with the most space available, or something like that? thanks LepLM
