Insight manager msde install drive

[Graham Van der vaart]

Hi
I wish to install IM 7.2's MSDE on a drive other than C drive.
How do I do this?
I tried to edit the setup.ini but it does not regard the ini file at all.
Regards
Graham

I used the readme.txt from MSDE SP1 (not sure which MSDE SP level that ships with IM7 SP2) it states-

3.1.29 Desktop Engine Setup TARGETDIR and DATADIR

The file paths specified for Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine
Setup TARGETDIR and DATADIR parameters must be terminated with a
backslash. For example:

TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Mssql$MyInstance\Binn\"
DATADIR="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Mssql$MyInstance\Data\"

...so I ran setup.ini TARGETDIR="C:\\" DATADIR="C:\\" (and I also placed these in setup.ini for good measure!) and it worked - not sure which of the 2 (or both) is valid.
