Why is my game installed in my C drive?

from Elemental Forums

I installed Impulse into my D drive where I keep my games, but even so EWOM ended up in my C drive.  I did not see any option to chose where the game would be installed.  When did game developers decide they knew better than I how my computer was to be organized?  When my box copy arrives I will try to reinstall the game on my D drive and if this does not work I will return it for a full refund.

I am sick and tired of arrogant developers trying to impose themselves on how I set up my computer.

You can change where software and games install to in preferences.

In the Impulse settings there's options for where to install, as well as a "prompt for install" option. You can change it there.

Might also want to suggest on the ImpulseDriven.com forum that they add a feature to pick up by default if it's installed on another drive.

thanks for the info, it would have been nice if that option was enabled by default.

I changed my directories in preferences but it installed to Program files x86 anyways. I now have to download and install again but this time with with prompt for directory enabled since apparently the archive option didn't seem to work either.

Agreed. Fortunately, I stumbled onto the 'Folders' options before I'd installed any games. It does seem rather silly not to simply default to the chosen drive during installation.
