Topic: How do I change the installation drive?

[Michelle]

I just opened mine (which was running from an exe just as simon said) then it said there is an update to 1.7.7 do you want to download and install

[Delgado]

Yes-Ive just checked FAQ in uTorrent, and in answer to the question "Does uTorrent install itself" it said

 No, it is a stand-alone application, unless you use the installer version. However, on first run, it will ask if you would like to make shortcuts on your start menu and desktop.

 Im useing the installer version!

Well, that's something of a relief for me, in that it seems I may not be going senile just yet after all.   

Curiously, it shows on my Vista machine as installed, but not on my XP machine, which I was looking at, as I believe Kaz runs XP.

I must have originally used the 'no-installer' version, which updates as it is.  If the 'no-installer' option is no longer available, this is where the confusion lies.     Perhaps it's one of those programs which prefer to run off the 'C' drive, and give no option?

Success at last Mate!!

  Im off out with the dog-was going to read my Computer Mag, but the new Puppy has just torn it up !!!

I must be running the installer version then  some versions when you update don't have the installer version it's all clear now I wonder why some do and some don't oh well Ill stick to this version for now it's not banned on any forums where as 1.77 is and some other earlier versions had problems apparently 1.6.1 is ok 

[Simon]

Why is 1.77 banned on some forums, Kaz?

[Delgado]

Im useing 1.7.7, and I get no problems downloading torrents from any forums.

utorrent.com only offers a standalone .exe for download. Sounds to me like you have downloaded it from somewhere else, and most likely has been packaged with an installer so it can install some nice toolbars etc (i.e. spyware).

Download the .exe from utorrent.com - http://download.utorrent.com/1.7.7/utorrent.exe

[Simon]

Hi Adz, and 

That link, when run, actually gives the option to install the program, or run it from the .exe file. 

[Adz]

You're right, ooops 

I ran it with uTorrent already running, just re-focused uTorrent so presumed it was still a standalone app as before. Quite a dinky little installer they've strapped on

RE: original question - just install it, and move the utorrent folder from c:\program files to wherever you want, and fix any shortcuts. it'll work as before
