Hey guys,

Currently with the eve online install the deafult location for log files is documents/eve/(here are the logs and what not)
I want to move them to another location how can i do this?

Cheers.

It will always save there, but you can just drag them to another location...

Make a batch file, set USERPROFILE to where you want them to go, and run the installer from inside that batch file.

I do this for the client to keep it from sticking game files all over my computer.

(Haven't tested it on the installer, but the same principle should work.)

If you're running windows, use a "junction" (aka a symbolic link) to point the logs dir to a different location.

I believe you'll want to use the "/J" option as opposed to the /D option.
