TwoKrazy Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I want to install Cakewalk, but my main hard drive is very low on space and can't install Cakewalk because of that. Is there a way to change the directory Cakewalk installs in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Why not do the sensible thing and move all the space hogging files to another drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murat k. Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Create a folder in the other drive. Then use this command in Command Prompt: mklink /j "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk" "<Created folder location for example: D:\Cakewalk>" Then install the Cakewalk. The install will load into the created folder in the other drive. If there is already a folder named Cakewalk in Program Files directory you can move the Cakewalk folder to the other drive then use the same command. Cakewalk will load from the other drive.

John Vere Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 All I can say is if a computer has a C drive that is above 60 % you need to get a bigger drive or do some clean up. Otherwise it will have issues . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwal³ Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 ideally cakewalk should install wherever, but legacy stuff requires things to be on the c drive (mklink fooling will do it) good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
