I just picked up the Fine Woodworking magazine archive 1975-2018 off the big auction site. The archive is the USB drive version not a DVD. I'm ready to install it but I'd prefer that I can specify where it is installed as I want it installed on a 2nd drive on my PC versus on the C drive. Does anyone who has installed it know if it allows the user to specify where it should be installed?

I only have the 2015 version, but I found that if you install to a folder you can easily find you can copy the folder anywhere and it all comes along intact. e.g. I installed to e:\woodworking\fww and then copied to r:\woodworking\magazine\fww and the search tool still worked just fine. 2015 also lets you uninstall/reinstall however many times you want to. But, I stress, that was the 2015 version, can't say if that remains true for 2018.

For what it's worth, I tried the install of the FWW magazine archive and it does allow the user to specify where to install it.
