GSX Install on different SSD?
« on: December 21, 2023, 07:41:35 am »
Hello All,

Is it possible to install GSX on a different drive (E:) other than the one where MSFS & Community folder is installed (C:)?
I'm low on disk space on the C Drive.

Thanks in advance!

I would think it's possible, but you'd have to uninstall everything FSDreamteam related, and when it asks if you want to uninstall Add-on Manager, choose yes. Then install something, select a new location, and you should be good to go. All FSDreamteam products would be installed wherever you install Add-on Manager.

Sure you can, but you need to remove everything first, from the Windows Control Panel, including the "FSDT Universal Installer" (if you use MSFS) and the "Addon Manager" (if you also use FSX or P3D), doing this will clear your previous folder choice, letting you to install anywhere.

It's perfectly fine choosing something like D:\Addon Manager, just don't select the root of a drive! And, be sure your drive is formatted in NTFS.
