Will there be repercussions to Program Files on one partition other than the operating system of the installation?

Will there be repercussions to Program Files on one partition other than the operating system of the installation?  Most if not all the software packages allow to customize the installation.  I had an experience with OFFICE 2013 and this allowed me to install on a separate partition.  After installation, I checked the menu START was 2013 OFFICE & I was able to launch PwrPt without complications.

My motivation for doing this is that I have several versions of LabView which occupies the huge disk space.  So if I can separate the backup image of my OS program files is greatly reduced in size.  This allows me to record several images of my OS by dates without needlessly chewing my external hard drive.

Anyone know this & if yes are there complications or questions?

Appreciate any feedback

  • When I try to open a game (Chess Titans, inkball, etc.), I get the following message: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess\Chess.exe the specified path does not exist.

    When I try to open a game (Chess Titans, inkball, etc.), I get the following message: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess\Chess.exe the specified path does not exist.  Check the path and then try again. "Should I do to get my games back so I can play them?  I've tried enabling/disabling of Windows features, but it did nothing.  I also tried to go through the run, but that has not worked.  And, I tried command prompt, but it says that I am not the administrator, who I am.

    Not accessible games

    I haven't had any changes consciously, and the games do not work in any user account.  When I've done sfc/scannow (command prompt) he said that I was not the administrator.  I could learn from another source to solve this problem - in the start menu, right click on the command prompt icon, and then click Run as administrator.  Hope everybody help with this problem.  If you do not have command prompt in your Start menu, any type of command prompt in your search box and it should appear.

    Anyway, my games work now.  Thank you

  • Loading error when you try to load the Halo 2 "files are missing or damaged in the installation directory. A few important files required to run this game are missing from the installation directory.

    Original title: load error when you try to load Halo 2

    People at Microsoft, I have a problem trying to load Halo 2 on my dv7 Paviliaon with Vista and the 2.8 GB Intel Centrino 2 processor. When I try and load the game, I get and error stating: "the files are missing or damaged in the installation directory. A few important files required to run this game are missing from the installation directory. "It bothered me for several reasons. One: the disc that I use is an original disc out of the box so hsould have no problem. Two: the game has been loaded previously on the same computer without apparent problem at the time. It has been deleted (don't remember why) and when I tried to reinstall, the error came. Three: I did as recommended and updated all programs and drivers, nothing works. So my question is, how do I reinstall Halo 2 and what this problem will arise if I decide to buy and load Halo 3?

    Thank you for your time in advance.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you want to know if you can install programs on a drive with no operating system.

    I wish to inform you that this is possible with only specific programs, which give the user an option to choose where the program is installed.

    When a program is installed, it runs in program files, which lies in the operating system drive and can not be moved elsewhere.

  • Is there one GUI, other than Assistant Deputy Ministers, and the CSM for test site vpn to ipsec tunnels on an asa5505/asa5510?

    Is there a GUI, other than the Assistant Deputy Ministers and the Security Manager cisco IPSec of Cisco ASA5505/5510 test site to vpn tunnels. I usually go through the steps listed in here in the link below in the terminal window, but it sucks when you have several tunnels to keep abreast of.

    http://www.nwdump.com/troubleshooting-IPSec-VPN-on-ASA/

    I would have preferred one that works with Freebsd or LInux, as the cisco security manager CSM v4.1 is limited to only current running on windows server 2008 ent.

    Thank you

    Jason

    No, for troubleshooting the best way is to use the CLI that will give you debug output on where it is lacking.

    For configuration, outside the CLI, ASDM and CSM, unfortunately there is no other tool that works on Linux/Freebsd because it is more specific orders of the ASA and only limited to the CLI, ASDM, or CSM.

  • How Win764() will not work if I install programs elsewhere other than the default Program Files folders?

    The reason for this question is that I want both 1.) Learn more about Win7 64 bit works, as well as 2.) understand the scope of customization possible.

    In any case, first of all, what this scenario: what happens if I create a subfolder in each of the two Program Files folders? Say, in the (x 86) program, I create a subfolder called Programs (x 86). Or another name, whatever and say that I do the same thing for the Program Files folder. So, what happens if instead of installing all my software back into the default directory Program Files or program (x 86), what happens if I start to install in these subdirectories to the place?

    Everything works fine? I heard that these two Program Files folders have assignments to special access for security reasons. As I start working on these issues, the same security structure would be preserved, correct? Second, everything will work correctly not only wise, but in terms of features? I know that each of the Program Files folders also has its own common files folder. If I make my method, installed programs to put their files in the Common Files folder correctly, and then get back them properly when necessary?

    Finally, I would also like to know out of curiosity, what would happen if I don't use the program files directories at all and instead started to install things in a completely different directory. But that is less an issue for me at the moment. I just want to know if what I have set out above would be good or not.

    Thank you!

    Hi StormRyder

    This issue is beyond the scope of these level consumer forums.

    I would recommend that you post on the Technet ITPro Windows 7 forumsfollow-up questions. Advanced on these forums users are more familiar with these types of settings, and may explain some of the common pitfalls you may encounter, as well as how to be ready in case something goes wrong.

  • How to configure the zxp so that he will place the related files for the Panel in one specific folder other than the folder "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common files \Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions\ ' usual?

    Hello

    I'm working on a Panel for Adobe Premiere pro CC, now we have a group set on foot which will install all the files that are part of the Extension and associated content files folder in the

    Folder C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common files \Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions \Panel\CONFIG. But we have to change this location to C:\Users\USER\APPDATA or any other folder specified for the user during the installation itself.

    Is it possible to do Builder extension?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Anoop NR

    Thanks guys,.

    I have it! Extensions of the hybrid.

    I use Adobe Extension builder 3 in Eclipse to code and create the zxp for Premiere pro panel.

    See the hybrid extension HTML panels advice part: #10 packages / installers ZXP | Photoshop, etc I added a hybrid extension using the manifest editor Panel within the extension Builder. It creates an automatically mxi file with all the properties, I have to change the maximum version number of host in the mxi file to make the extension in the first pro CC 2014. Using the hybrid option in the Bundle manifest editor you can choose a set of folder paths to put the files during the installation itself and can be used later using "csInterface.getSystemPath (SystemPath.CODE)" of javascript functions to edit.

    Thanks for your relpies,
