I want to change thet default install directory "\Program Files" to "\Storage Card\Program Files" if possible, because I don't want install my programs to main memory. I found solution for Windows XP : set the directory path in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ProgramFilesDir variable.

(I know CABINSTL program, wich enable to install my applications to any directory, but it's not working for every time.)

Please help, if You have any idea.

Sorry, my English is awful... :)

So, I can install applications to SD card, but I can't install some programs to "\Strorage Card\Program Files". It's not my biggest problem, but if possible I want to collect all of my applications to same directoty on SD card.

nagygabor679, I had had the same question, only asked them differently, when I started the thread

I have had all the asnwers collected there digested. In particular, I explained how to get cabinstl to work. We are on the same boat.
