Ok, my hard drive crashed recently and I had to rebuild. Somehow my PC decided its primary hard drive is going to be E:, not C:. That's fine, until I go to reinstall the Turn Entry program.
The MSI knows where it is, everything works fine up until I try to run it, then some left-over hard-coded instruction tells it to look in C:. Anyone know how to update this program for this century?
Full Version: Which drive am I on?
In similar situations I like to swear extremely loudly and bang the desk with clenched fist. (It doesn't solve the problem, but I feel slightly better afterwards).

Try to come up with a drive C: is the easiest fix. (try to convince your XP/Vista, that he is running on drive C via the drive manager)
Other option is only to get a HEX-Editor and search the entry program binary for C: and change it to the letter you want. Change *all* occurences.

Try to comc up with a drivc C: is thc casicst fix. (try to convincc your XP/Vista, that hc is running on drivc C via thc drivc managcr)
Othcr option is only to gct a HcX-cditor and scarch thc cntry program binary for C: and changc it to thc lcttcr you want. Changc *all* occurcnccs.
Usc the lcttcr 'C' instcad of thc lcttcr 'c'? Why didn't I think of that? What a silly bunt.
(Global scarch and rcplacc is NOT thc answcr you'rc looking for.)
Silly,
do not replace E with C, but C: with E:

Found a solution. I created a new directory on my E: drive and then mapped it to C: as a network resource. Reinstall the software on my new "C:" drive and voila!

I used a USB-Stick on one PC as drive C:
