Nope.
I need to move the Installer directory elsewhere.
It is my understanding that the location is specified by
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
So it would appear that I can merely change that registry value, then
reboot.
However, I do not want to lose what is currently in that directory, so I
must ASSuME that I should first COPY the files to another location, then
change the registry key, then reboot.
Do I ASSuME correctly?
