BUG: Update changes installation folder without asking
Hi there
Just thought I'd let you know; I've just upgraded from 0.6.42 to 0.6.43 and the update changed my installation path from "d:\apps" to "C:\Program Files" without asking, or any way of preventing it. (Windows XP SP3) I'm going to fix this by uninstalling and re-installing, but it would be a pain to have to do this everytime an update is released. Thanks for a great bit of software, by the way.

Yeah the installer doesn't remember your last used install folder. I found it too difficult to convince windows installer to do that.

After accidentally forgetting on more then one occasion I finally gave up and let it install where it wants to. It is not that big and the Calibre Library never moves from where I set it. Calibre is a great program and installing it in a custom destination folder is there for us to use. I was just too weak... Welcome to MobileRead. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 02-27-2010 at 11:10 PM. |

I'm in that boat, too. I haven't quite given up, but I may eventually. I have a lot of custom batch files for development that refer to my preferred, non-default location, so I've got an incentive to keep fixing it when I forget, but it's awfully easy to hit the wrong button.
