Change Hero Lab Data Files Location
I've Googled for this and can't find anything.
I'm having to reinstall HL after a hard drive crash, and I need to point the Data Files Location to my E: drive. The C: drive is only my OS, due to space limitations. The installer doesn't provide an option. The "Program install location" properly gets set to E:, but the "Data files location" stays stuck on C: Any information on how to change this? Pretty sure I had it set before the crash. |
You have to setup a symlink, I've used this to make it easier.

Wouldn't this be better achieved by working out how to have %AppData% located on another drive, rather than using symlinks?

It is possible to move AppData but it's a real pain. And symlinks are easier.

There's also the Hero Lab command line option "-dataroot e:\path\to\data\". See the Miscellaneous Details link in the Hero Lab manual. (It's in the Help menu once you pick a game system.)
I use that on my main machine (via a shortcut that also opens the Pathfinder system on startup), and I've also gone in and fixed the registry entries so I can open portfolio files from the file system. (It should really be a preference, though. :( |
