As the title describes, I run the MSI installation, but Im not being able to change the install directory, I need to change it because my C:\ disk is a 60gb ssd and I only want to use it for the OS.
Theres a way to change the installation path?
Thanks in advance!
In theory this should work:
msiexec /i "Path To MSI" INSTALLDIR="D:\New\Installation\Directory" /qb
however if that doesn't work then try:
msiexec /i "Path To MSI" TARGETDIR="D:\New\Installation\Directory" /qb
/qb = basic interface. You can also try /qn for a silent install.

MySql: I don't really know what installer you are using, but a quick peek at the simplest one I could find, seems to indicate that the installation location is defined by INSTALLLOCATION
and there is another location called DATALOCATION
.
If TARGETDIR
or INSTALLDIR
did not work (they might), then you could try setting those two location properties as well. Something like this:
msiexec /i MySetup.msi INSTALLLOCATION="D:\MySqlBins" DATALOCATION="D:\MySqlData" /qb
