Running Continuum from secondary unit?

[Delic]

Is this possible at all? Or does the program have to be installed on C:?

 

I need to find a way to be online from school and we don't get access to install stuff on C: ;P!

 

Any bright ideas? ;X

when you install most apps you can point them at another drive thats not an issue.

 

when installing specify install to E:\continuum or whatever and see what that does.

 

youll probably find the ports are blocked though but worth a try.

Notice I said "run" and not "install".

 

Some years ago I tried doing this using Direct CD. If I remember correctly, it would install perfectly fine, but when I tried running it, it would give me some error.

 

So.. has anyone been able to run Continuum from another unit other than the local harddrive?

I'm running it from D:\Program Files . Don't know if that is a logical harddrive for you.

For windows it shouldn't matter if you run it from D:\ or X:\ (where X can be your flash memory stick). I seen someone's screenshot where he was running Continuum from Z:\ .

[Delic]

Hmm.. yes.. I'll try it in a few days.

 

I guess the real question should be: Do you need access to the drive the O.S. is running on to run Continuum from another unit?!

 

ARGH.

[»Maverick]

Good question.

The only thing I know Continuum needs access to is the registry, it shouldn't use any temporary files on the O.S. drive.

No, it does not use the OS drive. As long as the drive it is installed on is writable (to save maps), it should work fine.

I did install continuum on a school computer, it was on a network drive (T:), and the program worked fine... the problem was the ports being blocked... no way around that

[Confess]

If you install it on one computer, then make the continuum folder a network folder so you can access it over the folder, all you have to do is load the continuum.exe and it should work. Ive done that with a computer on my network.
