Can I move the installed location?

February 27, 2006 7:38 PM from

I like having all my games in the same directory, can I move where the game is located? I didn't see an option to using the Stardock Control system. Does the CD version offer this flexibility? Or did I just miss something?

Sure can - BUT!

You need to edit your system registry though, or stardock won't recognize your installation anymore and asks you do download it again (thus you won't get any updates via stardock and maybe patch installers).

Do the following:

1) Click Start
2) Click Run
3) Enter "Regedit" and press OK
4) Follow the tree this way: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> STARDOCK -> Drengin.net -> GalCiv2
5) Once you reached the GalCiv2 folder, you will see several elements to the right. Doubclick "Path"
6) Enter your new patch where GalCiv2 is now located
7) Click OK and close the Registry Editor
8) Stardock Central will find your installation again
