So they've all been going on the C drive, filling it up much too rapidly, when I want them on the D drive.

Fix?

When installing click on options and choose the install location.

Or use Galaxy and chose it there ;)

Did you try pressing the options button in the installer and then simply browse the folder location and drive you want to.

As others have mentioned, use the Options button.

And if you need a visual guide: https://www.gog.com/forum/general_archive/change_drive_for_game_installation/post2 ;-)

Turns out the button that lets you choose is all the way to the left while the "continue" button is all the way to the right. Since BOTH (or all 3 - continue, cancel, and a "choose options" type) buttons are normally all the way to the right (as on this page, "cancel" and "post my message" are together to the right) and since my eyesight is pretty bad these days (and apparently not further correctable) - I simply didn't see the out-of-place button to choose. Also this was on a laptop where the much smaller screen causes me further visual difficulties.

Thanks. I just had to look more than once to find it.

No problem ;-)

I was screwing around with that last night and had the same problem. Kind of glad I'm not the only one who failed to notice there was actually a button there. :P

Perhaps they were trying to 'idiot proof' the installers.

Apparently not, as it doesn't seem to have foiled YOU.

Y'know, is it just me, or does it seem like there's a lot of old threads coming back recently that have nothing to do with Tauto's influence and are either the OP or some new user popping up again out of nowhere?

I haven't noticed it, but I'm not really paying attention.
I did apparently get a reply to a nearly six month old post.

It's not just you. :) The odd necro to a thread isn't too bad, sometimes people do it without realizing it just following a link or something then reading and replying without realizing a thread is old. Sometimes it's even for a good cause or adds value to a thread such as a solution to a problem that others may later on search for and find.

Most of the recent influx of threads being woken from the dead though are either from people who appear to be new to the GOG forums completely (rep < 20 or so), or people getting out of jail after a year or two and replying to the thread they started before going to jail and never got a chance to reply to before while in jail. :)

What I'm trying to figure out is how these ones even FIND the thread.

I'm guessing our good friend here never used the forums ever before posting the question in the OP, thus generating +1 rep, replied back to one of the replies a few hours later within the same day, then never looked in the forums again since and possibly never looked at the GOG website since. In the mean time, got a reply from Wishbone after his/her previous reply to Wishbone which has sat as a notification ever since. Presumably they just returned to GOG for the first time in 5 months roughly to discover a notification waiting for them, clicked on it and were brought here and then replied 5 months after the fact, garnering +1 more rep resulting in the 2 rep we see now. :)

It's elementary my dear Watson! Sheeesh, didn't you solve like every single Sherlock Holmes game in existence or something? LOL

:)

You know that there a search engines outside of gog? No really? ;)

And they have a special version anyway called necrosearch TM

That is just imagination, nothing else ;)

Or they were in hibernation mode to conserve necropower?
