Specifying file paths for MS SQL 2012 Install

Hi,

  select what features you want to install .once selected the directory automatically will show the option

refer the below link

http://www.sqlcoffee.com/SQLServer2012_0007.htm

Based on the link you have provided I should be able to change the path but in my case it is grayed out.

Any idea why?

You need to click on select all for all features and then you would be able to edit the same

Already tried that. It does not allow me to change the path even with all features selected.

The browse button and field paths are grayed out

On the attached screen it shows the disk usage. My C: is almost full and I want to install everything on D:

Why is that not possible?

Hi guys,

You can change the installation path of SQL Server i.e. from C drive to D drive on Instance Configuration page. see eg:

That is what I did but it still installed 4GB or so of files on C: drive.

Take a look at my last screenshot where it shows C:/ 4122MB required

Then on D:/ it shows 864 required

Ok that is what I already found else where. Strange that it would not be possible
