[daisy] [JIRA] Commented: (DSY-632) .exe install fails if DAISY_HOME and RepoWiki dirs are to be created on a different drive

[Karel Vervaeke (JIRA)]

    [ http://issues.cocoondev.org//browse/DSY-632?page=comments#action_13590 ] 

Karel Vervaeke commented on DSY-632:
------------------------------------

The problem is not the location of the installation directory vs data directories,
it is the location of the java executable vs the data directories.
Cause: in the daisy batch files, these two lines occur:

cd %SOME_PATH%
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java ....

Under unix, cd $SOME_PATH always changes the present working directory ($PWD), under windows, 
you get this situation:

C:\> cd e:\somewhere
C:\> (the present working directory is still C, you need to type E:<enter> to be taken to the intended location:
C:\> E:
E:\somewhere>

This problem exists in older versions as well.
Unsure if this should be fixed in the .bat files or somewhere else, suggestions are welcome.  If anyone knows the .bat-file lingo to do it there, please add your comment to jira ;-)

> I asked to install Daisy on c:\daisy, the repo data on E:\daisy\RepoData and the wiki data in E:\daisy\WikiData.
> When starting the repo, it fails, because E:\daisy\RepoData is empty.
> Going back and changing the directories to C:\daisy\RepoData and C:\daisy\WikiData sorts no sign of success.
> I proceeded with manual install and it's now running.
> I had installed it previously without problems using dirs on the same drive (c:).
