Separate Volume / Drive Installation

If your Supportworks Application is to be installed on a drive other than the C: drive

Enable 8dot3name creation for the required drives prior to installation by running the following from the command prompt. To enable this on all drives on the server (recommended)

fsutil 8dot3name set 0

You can also enable the 8dot3name for a specific drive . For example, ifSupportworks is to be installed on the D drive, run the following

fsutil 8dot3name set d:0
