Hi everyone,
I can’t run OM 6.19 on Windows because my home directory is D:\Users\pier and OM only wants to install on C: and assumes that my home directory is C:\Users\pier. So it won’t start at all.
Any workarounds available?
I think that both the possibilty of choosing the install drive and the correct detection of where the home directory is could be nice additions to the next release.
Greetings
Dear Piergiorgio,
Yes this is a known issue. Will work on it as soon as i get a real machine with windows. Working this out on a VM is very annoying. So maybe soon.

I understand. In the meantime I found a simple workaround by creating a symbolic link to the home directory. In my case it looks like this:
(from cmd.exe with admin privileges)
cd C:\Users
mklink /D pier D:\Users\pier
Thank you Piergiorgio,
It’s good to know that there is a way to fix this. But promise, i will look into this ASAP. This issue is deep rooted in the api. So if something has to be done, it should be really done carefully so it doesn’t break everything up.
