Lol if you need to know i made a folder with the same text as as the Program Folder on my E: since my C: is a 60GB SSD for windows Boot and it worked. Installing now, where before i had it trying to install in E:\Games and it was saying 'Invalid Directory'

Create a Folder in your alternative drive called: Program Files (x86)

Mine was:

E:\Program Files (x86)

and now its installing fine. Big smile

Weird aye... Worked for me Roll

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
8192MB RAM XPG

it was mentioned a little while ago that EVE is currently having problems in general running on SSDs. I don't know how close CCP is to resolving it, but this workaround should help in the meantime! Thanks!

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....
