in the cmd prompt type: MKLINK /J "Full original directory" "Desired destination directory" delete the directory (send it to your recycle bin to relax) unlock it and navigate back to that directory. right click it (ie Microsoft Office 15 folder) and select "what is locking this folder?" Find every directory that office references, I only had one, some people have 2, I don't know if there are ever 3.
Without LockHunter you'll have to manually end process on everything that keeps you from accessing the office directory.Ĥ.

Download and install LockHunter (), it's a software I used to simplify the process. Create a backup of everything in case this breaks your device. There, instead there's an automatic pointer to where it actually is (your other storage device).

With this solution windows basically *thinks* office is where it's supposed to be (C:) but it's not Use this solution at your own risk, I have it working and i'm quite happy with it. It's weird, and it's kind of hacked together, but it seems to be working. There's no going back unless I have some sort of a backup image to fall back to in an emergency.Īlright CharlieWright I think I have a solution to this problem! Haven't worked up the nerve to do that yet, though, because once I delete the factory-restore partition, And I can still recover back to factory-new using the Windows-created restore image.

To turn Windows Update back on and use the thing properly. That will add about 7GB of space to the System partition which I hope will allow me If I can do that (an earlier attempt to restore such a Windows-created image failed and I almost had to send the device back to the factory to be re-imagedīefore I was able to recover it to working condition again) then I plan to delete the Factory restore partition on the C: drive and expand the basic System partition. I'm still exploring my ability to restore the Tablet from an image I created using Windows restore. Now I can still use the thing, though I connect to the Internet only rarely so as to "protect" myself from bad things. In order to prevent Windows from chewing up what little free-space remains on the C: partition, I disabled Windows Update. Then I (re)activated the Office-365 product. Then I went thru the entire registryĪnd changed every entry I could find that referenced Office to point from C: to D: - there were literally dozens of them. Then I added every registry key I could find in a bunch of posts to different threads, including this one. I reset my Tablet to the factory-new image.
If not, what's the name of the REG_SZ I need to add to. So do I need to add an Override REG_SZ to the ClickToRun node? With a value equal to the desired path to the D drive? Do I also need to add the path as the value for the (Default) REG_SZ within the.
But there's no "Override" key on that branch. "InstallPath" with a value pointing to C. The closest I can find is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun, which does indeed contain a REG_SZ And, by then, the product is probably already installed on c:Īre you saying one should Uninstall the product from C:, then go back and, creating registry keys as needed, create the InstallRoot key you mention above with a value specifying the desired path to another drive? Then try to reinstall?Įarlier in this thread, there's a reference to "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ClickToRun\Override" but I can't find such a key on my tablet. The HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common branch doesn't exist in the registry unless Office has already been installed.
