I don't see how this can be a problem, ever. I save all downloads on one
drive, unpack/install on a 2nd, and copy the resulting files to the drive i
use to run things. This way i don't need to change pointers or include file
locations, and i don't need to reboot, rebooting is a *major* pain here. If
i can't do the copy, i rename the old dir, and after the install, i copy it
to the new install. This has saved my rear many times when installing
software that claims to save old data and then goes and erases a couple
years of work. What would be nice is if Eu just dropped the new files in and
asked if we want the autoexec changed, if it needs changing,,, and no more
renaming PD* files.
