    Does anyone have any experience with what SEP will do if you use a standard non interactive install on a system with a non-standard installation directory.  For example a system that has it's primary hard drive named O instead of the standard C?  Thanks.

    yes you can do that
    all you need to do is to create a custom install setting
    click on admin
    isntall packages
    select client install settings
    click on add at the bottom
    set the drive to O drive program files or something you like
    while exporting export with this setting
    the client will be installed on that particular drive

    it installs to <root> and not particularly C:

    Vikram is right... Any product hardcoded to install on primary partition will always refer to <root> and thats how it should be designed... I guess SEP works the same way... Because normally, citrix servers have some other alphabet assigned to OS drive.... and I don't remember creating an install setting... :) .. Though you create a install setting to load SEP on a different drive, LU will always sit on the root drive...

    That's exactly it.  This was a citrix server.  It just went to the default os drive on it's own.  Thanks.

    LOL...I have had the same question when installing it on a citrix server... :) ...Cool then... Why don't you mark this thread as solved and let our techies concentrate on the rest... :P
