I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.logos.com/Install_in_different_folder_or_drive
When I launch the software it is still trying to download the books 13.6 GB from the server.
I kill the index in task manager, the software opens. I told it to open up a blank layout..
I use the scan command, restart the software, but it still wants to download the 13 GB from the server.
What am I doing wrong?
Using the latest beta.
Everything ever written or spoken in Religion, formatted for Logos Bible Software.
There are remnants of the software on the c drive.
Based on the snapshots here it seems as if either the software did not move, or I somehow reinstalled it using the junction software.
Yes. My library is empty.
Just to make sure I am doing this right. Can some one send me a screen shot on using the software from microsoft?
Thanks.
Renamed the Logos4 folder on the c: drive, now it is at a stage where it says, preparing your library.

It would help if you described exactly what you did, as it appears that you did not move the logos4 folder on C: drive.
Where is it preparing your library - which drive has your resources?

Apparently, Logos was confused with whether to use c or d. After renaming the folder in C: came home and all is well. Can I delete the Logos4 folder on Drive C? Space is low. 32 GB left.
I don't have a complete picture of what you did. If you are sure that the redirection to D: is working then delete the renamed folder in C:.
Indexing is finished, Logos has reinstalled itself on the C drive. But most of the space is still there. The folder is 23 GB.
Bradley since you are trouble shooting, is there a way to get rid of the software from C: where it has reinstalled itself and keep it on D: without downloading and indexing all over again.

Start by telling us exactly what you did - which procedure in the wiki were you attempting to follow, etc
Thanks for your patience Dave. I just realize that there were two options.
This is what I attempted to do. Not sure if I actually did it.
In the command prompt I had to type in the path. Dos was not showing it. Now Logos files is showing up in C as well as D drive. The short cut is pointing to D:.
After indexing, Logos seems to have recreated the folders on C.

Exactly where is Logos installed on C:? What happened to the renamed folder on C: (what is its path)? Where is Logos installed on D:? What is the path to the shortcut? Exactly where does the shortcut point?
Were you attempting to move the whole Logos folder to D: drive?
Which installation is working? How big are the files on D: and C:?

It may not be fruitful to see exactly how things are. Find the Resources folder and save it on the C: drive i.e. move it out of the Logos folder. Uninstall Logos from Control Panel and remove all the remaining Logos folders on C: and D:. Use the Junction command to remove the shortcut (not Explorer)** and then install Logos as per http://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_multiple_computers#Method_3
NB. The custom path you specify is D: ---> specifying only the drive name will get Logos installed to D:\Logos5.
