Will AC, Decal and assorted plugins work on a partioned hard drive that is not the C drive?

I believe I remember seeing numerous exports posted where people have ac, decal, and plugins installed to the d: or e: drives.

Thanks for the replies. Agnari, could you further elaborate as to what installed properly is? I have several people who are having issues with installations and can't seem to understand, "install AC, Decal and various plugins in their own folders on the C drive."

I believe that you need to ensure you actually run the installers from a local copy of the item being installed and run it WITH administrator rights (and some items also have a 'Install for just me' or 'Install for Everyone' I always install for everyone. And by local copy , one that is sitting on the system to get the install hard drive, I'm not sure if usign a copy of the network or the internet will work properly or not in all cases.

You can copy over the latest cell and portal .dats AFTER you install ac if you wish to avoid the download, but the installer needs to be run to make registry entries.....

Run the AC install package rather than just trying to move the folder to the new drive letter. During the install you say the destination is d:\games\AC or some such.
You can backup the .dat files and then stick them into the "new" install so you don't have a bunch to DL again.
