Reset installation placement

[khaley]

Is there a way to make windows 'forget' where I installed something, I know it sounds shady but it's really not.

I am currently trying to re-install Fl Studio because I installed it in the wrong place and windows is only showing me the incorrect place now. IE: I want it to go BACK to the default install location and I'm too much of a newb to figure it out. =(

Please help.

A few more details about the situation would help: have you UNinstalled the old installation already? If so, is it when you try to re-run the installer that you're getting stuck?

As SchizTech eluded to, uninstall it, then re-install, during reinstall it will allow you to use the default install directory or choose another location.

It does not give me an option for the default location, it only shows the location I previously installed at.

Yes, I have uninstalled the old, I am stuck at reinstalling

Can you provide a screenshot showing the part where you get stuck?

Sure thing.

If you hit the "Browse" button you can select a new location. The install should ordinarily go to "C:\Program Files"

No, it'll let me pick a location but I am unsure of the default locations. Like, Is it C:\Program Files\blah blah blah? Or will C:\Program Files be good enough to do it? Supposedly this program is reaaaally picky about locations. I'm sorry if this is coming off as a newbie question..

I see in your image it wants to install to "...\Fl Studio trial\" so use "C:\Program Files\Fl Studio trial\"

According to this post the default for this program is "C:\Program Files\Image-Line\"

Dammit, I looked for a 1/2 hour trying to find that info! Ugh..

Okay. I really appreciate your patience, SchizTech..

Thank you.
