    Mklink and software installation


    Hello all,
    I'm using mklink to put the installed software on the D:\, that is installed on c:\program files or programfiles(x86). In order to do this I have created (2) batch files. One for mklink and one for installation of programs. Now where do I use mklinkand use to install the programs. Do I use mklink before the setup of a program or after?

    John

    If I have a program that installs in programfiles(x86)\fred and I use mklink to install it on d:\apps\john\fred.
    Would I the programs setup file like this
    Mklink
    Setup.exe
    Or
    Setup
    Mklink

    Not really the site didn't give the answer I wanted . Thank you , John

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.
