PGP Command Line is installed automatically on C: drive ( no prompt for install dir)
Hi All,
I'm trying to install the PGP Command Line 10.1.0.52 (Win32) on Windows 2003 Ent. SP2 32bit, but it doesn't prompt at all for install dir. It justs installs on C: drive.
But I need to install it on Cluster (with 2 nodes) so I need to install it on drive D: or E: which is clustered resource.
I tried to run PGPCommandLine-10.1.0.52--Win32.msi /help but no option is given to select other drive. See below.

The old version 9.8 actually promts for install dir.
The install document also doesn't tell how to do this...
Why this has changed in newer version?
Do you know how to install it on other drive than C:?
Constantin,
Thanks

Thanks David for
Thanks David for suggestions.
Just opened with ORCA the MSI and in the Properties section there is no explicit reference to C: drive.
Please could you advise what variable should be changed instead to point it to other drive?
Hm, perhaps that information
Hm, perhaps that information is not applicable to newer installation packages. I'm sorry about that. That actually makes sense given the other comment in the incident, that we install on the system drive.
