Change Logos Install location

Rick W

Hi! I'm wondering if there is any way to custom install logos (I had logos 4, now have updated core engine to logos 6), so that all the program and resource files are not in my C: Drive (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local), but on a separate drive of my choosing? I am using Windows 7 Home Prem.

Or can all the files be moved somehow, while allowing the program to function as normal?

If there is a way to re-install logos to a user-defined location, how can I stop the new installation from re-downloading all my data and resource files?

Could you please advise?
Thank you kindly,
Rick

Thanks heaps alabama - looks like a good solution. I will post back when I've done it (but maybe in a couple of weeks - limited time at present).

Hi - checking in again.

I initially used the Junction.exe solution, which worked brilliantly and easily.
Until. Until Logos 6 wanted to install SR-1.
Then it kept giving me an error message:
"Error writing to C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Logos4\System\fr
\Libronix.SearchEngine.resources.dll Verify that you have access to that directory."

I tried downloading the Logos 6 core engine again, to reinstall over the top of the existing installation, but the same error message came up, and each time I had to cancel the update installation.

Obviously the Junction.exe solution doesn't allow for Program updates, unless there is a further trick to use to get it to work, which I don't know about. If anyone knows one, please post it.

So, in the end I resorted to uninstalling the program, and reinstalling to the new directory I that I wanted using a custom installation, and re-adding my saved resources, then restarting the program twice. It all works fine, and my resources are not on my C: Drive, which is what I needed in the first place.

So Uninstall/Reinstall works, but the Junction.exe solution apparently doesn't allow program updates.

Thanks again for your help.

It may have been a folder permission issue - see https://wiki.logos.com/Fixing_Logos_4_folder_Ownership for an article talking about this

Thanks, Graham, you may well be right. But as I've uninstalled/reinstalled, I can't test it now.

Totally understand - I was just posting for future reference.

Glad you have things working as you wanted - sorry it wasn't easy
