iamhondo Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'm trying to install 4.1.6 into a custom folder on my f: drive. The 4.1.6 installer won't accept that. I've tried a ton of things. But the easiest reproduce-able sequence is to switch "c:" with "f:" on the folder selection screen. With c:, Next is enabled. But as soon as I change it to f:, the Next button is disabled.

BoltBait Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 When you click the Browse button, is drive F available? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Is F: a removable drive? If so, you can't install to it.

iamhondo Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 It is a removable drive. Almost all other apps allow installation on a removable drive. So it's obviously not a Windows restriction. Why not Paint.NET? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, f: is visible as an option when I browse in the installer. But when I select it, the "Next" button is disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way there's only 1 small problem; I think this is literally the 2nd or 3rd time in 10 years someone has asked about this. Software reliability/quality is a statistical game sometimes.

iamhondo Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks for the responses. I'll give the "portable mode in 4.0.17" method a try. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
