9.1 patch for FS9 on drive other than C?

Postby beaky » Sat Jan 16, 2010 11:42 pm

I recently had to re-format my main drive, and decided to partition it and try to run FS9 (which I had to re-install) outside of the OS partition.
Installed fine and runs fine so far, but I can't seem to install the patch. My guess is that because the option is not given to install it on any drive you wish, it is looking for C:  .
Anyone know if this is right? If so, is there a download that will allow me to update FS9 wherever I have it?

I would guess that it needs to find FS9 in C: too. How old is your FS9? I never had the problem of the patch install because it came on my disks.

I have FS installed on my D: drive and the patch installed fine. Must say that this D: drive is a completely seperate drive, not a partition. As long as your pc knows where you have FS installed, it should install the patch in the right place.

I think I found the "problem"- this version was a replacement copy I got fairly recently... file version  9.1.0.40901.    ;D
