BAT files

Either you'll have to:

  1. Edit the bat file to point to a new drive (post it here if you're not sure how) or
  2. Create a junction in Windows to redirect the install location on your C drive to another drive.

Personally I'd go for the junction. It basically means that you're redirecting a folder to another drive (kind of like a shortcut); you can use this for moving steam games to different drives and such.

Open a command prompt in administrator mode and use mklink to redirect the install location on C to another drive:
mklink /J c:\install d:\newinstall

This will create an "install" folder on your C drive which is linked to a d:\newinstall folder (you need to create that folder before you can run the command). When your game copies its files to c:\install in the background it's actually being written to d:\newinstall instead so you won't have an issue with free space.

Replace c:\install with the location your game is using.
 
I tryed the junction pho & then started extracting & created the the folder d:\newinstall folder on my D:\ where i have free space, but then i get the error message from windows
that i,m running out of space on my C:\ then the extraction stops :(
Am i doing something wrong?

Thx Shotgun
 
what kind of game makes you install from a batch file and doesn't let you choose the location? :confused:

as pho mentioned, posting it here might help??
