Andreas Deininger commented on DSY-632:
---------------------------------------

> The problem is the location of the java executable vs the data directories.

O.k., new try with the windows installer: java executable on drive c:, daisy installation directory on drive d:, data directories on drive e:
Installation successful, no problem at all. So this is not the cause for the incident reported. However, please note that the installer starts both daisy repository and wiki as windows services.

> part omitted
> 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 remember fixing that "cd  /d" issue in the case when compiling daisy in case coccon-sources and daisy sources were on different drives, so I can have a look at it. However, at a first glance, I couldn't see any .bat files with that "cd" statements in it.

> It seems that 'cd /d' does the trick. However, I don't know if it is available on all targeted windows versions (I use XP).

cd /d should work with any version of Windows IIRC.

> 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:).
