Archived from groups: alt>games>rctycoon (more info?)
I have 3 hard drives. The C: for general programs. E: for games and F: for
MP3s.

The C: is almost full and I want to install RCT2 on the E: because that's
the games drive. It doesn't let me! It doesn't even give me the option.

Is there a way to get it to install on the E: which has plenty of space?

If you are comfortable using Regedit, it shouldn't be too hard. Copy
the whole RCT2 directory from your C: to your E: drive. Then open up
Regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fish Technology Group\RollerCoaster Tycoon Setup

If you are paranoid about editing the registry, you can do a backup by
using the menu Registry - Export Registry File.

In that key you will see a Path entry, which indicates where the game is
installed. You should be able to change that to the new location of the
game and be on your merry way. (Right-click on Path, and pick Modify)

In addition, if you want to eliminate the need to have the CD in the
drive, copy the entire Data directory off of the CD to the data
directory in your RCT2 game directory. Then change the SetupPath entry
in the above registry key to be the same as the Path entry. You should
then be able to run the game without the CD.

If any of this fails, you will still have the game on C:, and you can
restore the registry entry by double-clicking the .reg file that you
created if you backed it up.

These instructions are for RCT1.

The following are registry entries for RCT2.
I have attached a copy of the text in a file called RCT2.reg which is in a
zip file.
Make an edited copy of this file with the C: references changed to E:, then
double-click on the file in windows explorer and click OK when regedit asks
if you want to add the informatiom to the registry.
You can run the original RCT2.reg to restore your original settings.

These instructions are for RCT1.

The following are registry entries for RCT2.
I tried to attached a copy of the text in a file called RCT2.reg in a zip
file but the message disappeared
from the server - maybe I can't post attachments. So - just use the text
below to make RCT2.reg
Note: the "SetupPath"="R:" refers to my cdrom drive on R: - substitute your
drive letter.
Make an edited copy of this file with the C: references changed to E:, then
double-click on the file in windows explorer and click OK when regedit asks
if you want to add the informatiom to the registry.
You can run the original RCT2.reg to restore your original settings.

If you want me to email you the file in a zip email me at
specialnoone.DeleteThis@spamnotcomcast.net
with the spamnot removed.

Looks like word wrapping screwed up some long entries
You probably only need the section below.
Actually only the line with "Path"
