Install Mgr - Installed Content

Hi, this has probably been covered in another post but I can't find it.  How do I make Install Manager acknowledge the installed files on my external F drive instead of always defaulting to the Manifest files on the C drive. There is a Manifest file on my external drive but the Install Manager will not read the information from there.  It always wants to create a new Manifest file in C even though I keep deleting it.

    That requires 'hacking' the Account.ini file.  This file is in C:/Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/InstallManager/UserAccounts.  The file is a simple text file that can be opened and edited with Notepad.  Look for the line "OverrideManifestDir=", add the path to the new manifests location with no 'space' after the equal sign.  There is another overide just below this one  for redirecting your thumbnails.
