Can I change the install directory of WoW?

It should let you choose right at the beggining of the installation, I have mine on my D: drive.

I decided to give WoW another try, but when I go to install it, it just installs on my C:\ drive. I don't have much space left on my SSD, and seeing how WoW is so massive, I want to put it on my RAID setup like I do all my other games. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks, It didn't do that when I tried it a couple months ago. I feel really dumb now  :P

you can move the wow directory anywhere on you computer and it will work as long as you launch the game from the directory.

If you already have a game, program, or anything installed you can move it at anytime using symbolic links or junctions.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Users cannot, and will not securely manage key material. Most users can't and the ones that can, wont.

Ask me about Bitcoin, Litecoin, Crypto-Currencies, and/or Mining them.
