Hi; boy last night wasn't my night, I posted this under the Tavern section instead of here where I meant to post it. Sorry about the repeat post but I believe this is where its supposed to go. Again, apologies for mispost of the first one :(
After much weighing in on the pros and cons of several different VTTs I decided on FG2 and purchased a number of packets last night to begin my journey in this brave new world of online GMing. But I ran into a problem right off the bat with attempting to install my new shiny program. I was a bit overeager to get the software installed and had given the go ahead to install before realizing I had let it go with default install locations, which for me is a problem since I use a SSD as my C drive and the only thing that I put on that is system programs; recreation programs and data gets stored on my other HDs. I realized this mistake about halfway through and cancelled the installation, fired it up again and paid a little more attention this time, noticing filepaths that I'm a bit unfamiliar with.
Though I've installed a great many programs on other drives, either anxiety or something is making me overthink this as I recently ran into a problem with Hero Labs where it placed files in my C drive despite having been told to install it on the D drive. When I tried to fix that, all manner of hijinx followed which I'm still in the process of sorting out. So when FG2 had two file locations, years of computer use suddenly fled my thinking and left me feeling like a noobert. I did some searches but the results didn't give me enough to go on, and what I did find was several years old and I doubt applies anymore, hence why I'm making this post.
So in a more brief and to the point here's what I would like to do.
1) I halted the installation about halfway through by hitting the "Cancel" button. Is there anything I should be aware of and do first as a "housecleaning" before trying to install FG2 again?
2) My recent issue with Hero Lab left me questioning previous assumptions. I want to install FG2 to a different drive and if at all possible, I don't want *any* parts of it residing on my SSD drive. Could some wise Sage kindly show this lost soul how to fully install FG2 to a alternate drive? I use Win7-64x btw in case that spells out any special considerations.
Thanks
