• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS20 SDK 14 Installs to C:\MSFS SDK without option to change - SOLVED

The latest SDK (14) does not allow the ability to modify its installation location - It goes to C:\MSFS SDK (yes with a space) and does NOT provide the ability to change the location - any ideas?
Doing something like this==> msiexec /i "D:\MSFS_SDK_Core_Installer_0.14.0.0.msi" TARGETDIR="V:\MSFS_SDK" /qb (where D:\ was the location of the download) still installs to C:
So now I have the Core components in C:\MSFS SDK and the documentation and samples in V:\MSFS_SDK
What will ADE look for?

Hello:

If you edit the command line and use the terminating \ (Back-Slash) in the target path string sections, does it work ? :scratchch

I do not see an option to change target install folder path (yet), but this method Anthony31 linked to ...worked flawlessly for me (YMMV):


Paste the command string (edited for your desired target install path) into the Windows RUN dialog ...for example:

Code: 
msiexec /i "c:\Users\Admin\Downloads\MSFS_SDK_Core_Installer_0.14.0.0.msi" INSTALLDIR="D:\MSFS SDK 0_14_0_0\" /qb


msiexec /i "c:\Users\Admin\Downloads\MSFS_SDK_Documentation_Installer_0.14.0.0.msi" INSTALLDIR="D:\MSFS SDK 0_14_0_0\Documentation\" /qb

Results:

Code: 
__D\:
  |__MSFS SDK 0_14_0_0
     |__Documentation
     |__Licenses
     |__Schemas
     |__SimConnect SDK
     |__Tools
     |__WASM

Hi Gary,
YES - changing the command to : msiexec /i "D:\MSFS_SDK_Core_Installer_0.14.0.0.msi" INSTALLDIR="V:\MSFS_SDK\" /qb worked!! (Added the slash to the end AND used INSTALLDIR rather than TARGETDIR
