A stupid question

[swampy11]

I can't believe that I would be asking this, but how do I install RO on a different drive. In my install page, it defaults to "C" only with no option, that I can see, to change drive letters. A little help here would sure be appreciated.]
Thanks

It'll install to which ever drive you have steam on so I suggest backing up RO (if you've already downloaded it) and then to unistall steam from your computer and reinstall it on whichever drive you want the games on.

Hope that helps.

Someguy-
I haven't installed anything as far as I know. I am using disk 1 from the box. I have looked in my uninstall list and Steam is not there. Suggestions?
Thanks

I think it would be possible to first download steam at: www.steampowered.com

Then install steam on the drive you want Red Orchestra on, when steam is installed you then insert the install disc 1 again?



tell me if this works please (otherwise you can just register a steam account and use the key you got in the red orchestra game?)

Did NOT work. I installed Steam on the "D" drive and the install went perfect. I then tried to install RO from disk 1 and again it defaults to the "C" drive with no option to change. Another suggestion?
Thanks,

What happens if you just let it try to install with the default C: drive option showing? (or did you try that?) Some have apparently had success as it found the Steam directory and installed it appropriately (in other words on the D: drive in your case).

Answer solved. After communicating with Destineer, here is the solution. I tried it and it works like a dream.
1. DL the latest directX from Microsoft.
2. DL the latest version of Steam from the Internet and place it in the drive that you want RO to be placed in. Set up a Steam account using your RO codes.
3. At the RO set-up screen from disk 1, remove the "x's" from both Red Orchestra and directX boxes, so only Steam is checked. Click Next.
4. It will recognize that Steam has been loaded and automatically beginning downloading RO to the same drive letter.
5. Despite the fact that you unchecked directx in the start up screen, it will still ask you if you want to install it, just click cancel.
6. Start RO from the Steam directory and allow it to upload and update. It took me 183 minutes on a cable modem, so be patient.
7. Everything works.....so far.
Hope this helps.
