<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I am recieving some conflicting information regarding the
possibility of installing MS4W as well as chameleon for MS4W into subdirectories
(eg. C:/program files/ms4w)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007><FONT face=Arial

states:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007>"The directory structure,
while fixed within itself, is designed to be somewhat portable. While it needs
to be installed at the root of a hard drive, it doesn't have to be the C: drive.
Moving the package to the root of a different drive is simple - just copy it
there. To move it to a subdirectory is more difficult - you'll need to search
for /ms4w in all the files and replace it with your new path."</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>From this I take it you must extract/install to c:
drive and you may MOVE it to a subdirectory if ALL of the files are changed with
the new path. Also to clarify, can you extract + install from a
subdirectory if the pathing editing is done? (e.g. extract to program files >
double click apache-install.bat etc...) if the pathing is
modified.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007><FONT face=Arial

new pathing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007>"John,<BR><BR>Make sure
ms4w is installed right at the root - you should have c:/ms4w,<BR>and not
c:/ms4w_2.0/ms4w (the applications are configured for c:/ms4w, or<BR>d:/ms4w
etc, and will not work if it is a longer path). I would rename<BR>your
original ms4w and extract another at the root of the drive (c:/),<BR>then
extract the itasca package at that same root

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=981262115-26072007><FONT face=Arial

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've read the installation documentation and while it
works flawlessly as is, I've inevitably run into the issue of installing to the
root C:\</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>To be blunt, I cannot have it installed to C:\ (or
any root directory).</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know of a list or know how to find ALL
the files which need to be edited for modified pathing? It should be the same
for everyone, apart from the new path.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Searching with Windows doesn't seem to bring up any
results, perhaps I'm doing it wrong.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
