Question Installing Versaworks to Secondary Drive

Apparently not. I suggest you submit a product suggestion to Roland. The more of us asking, the more chance they will address this in a future release.

 

I was going to point you to this earlier thread, but I see you were the OP!

They don't offer it from memory. Assuming you're using Windows you'll be best off creating a junction point to the new drive and "tricking" Versaworks to install there.

What is the default install folder for Versaworks these days? I'll write out the extact instructions for you if you can let me know.

 

you know, versaworks is not a terribly sophisticated program (not meant in a bad way)
i would be tempted to do an install, then do a "search & replace" or at least a search, and manually change
working directories

that being said, i would rather do this on something other than a machine that generates the bulk of my income (i have been wrong
in the past)

 

by the sound of it, all you really need to change is working directories for windows and versaworks

 

Okay, what you can try is this:

Shutdown Versaworks and move "C:\ProgramData\Roland DG VersaWorks" (let's take the entire parent folder over) and "C:\Roland" to the root of the SSD drive. I will assume this is D:\ but feel free to modify the below commands to suit:

mklink /j "C:\ProgramData\Roland DG VersaWorks" "D:\Roland DG VersaWorks"
mklink /j C:\Roland D:\Roland

What this should so is implement a symbolic link which will redirect the directory on the left to the actual location on the right.
In Windows Explorer those new redirections will look like folder shortcuts, but Versaworks should behave the same as it previously did.
We used to be in the same boat a few years back when SSDs were super expensive so only had a 120GB C:\ drive so we were doing this all the time with non-speed-critical software and offloading it to a regular drive. Now that we have a 2TB SSD, it's no longer needed.
