Multi OS installation problem

[stargatefan]

I have 2 Operating systems currently installed on 2 different hard drives my computer using a dual boot configuration, Windows 8 PreRelease, and Windows 7 Pro.  I am wondering how I can use the same blockland installation on both operating systems. This seems like a fairly easy thing to do, just set the installation directory to the same location on both OS, BUT blockland by default likes to put the main folders in C:/Users/"User"/Mydocuments/Blockland no matter what you do, EVEN if you link your My Documents folder to a different location on your computer, say D:/Documents.
I know the odds of this being solved is slim, but it would be nice if this issue got looked into.

Blockland doesn't work on Windows 8 beta.

NOEDIT:   It has to be installed in "C:/Users/"User"/Mydocuments/Blockland" or the game will not work.

Ignore what Butler just said. Add this to the end of your BL shortcut's target:

Code: [Select]

-profilePath "D:\Path\To\Your\Blockland"

Butler, that's irrelevant. It doesn't even have to do with what he was asking. He wants to know how he can change the folder that Blockland writes all the files to.

OP, just do this:

Add this to the end of your BL shortcut's target:

Code: [Select]

-profilePath "D:\Path\To\Your\Blockland"

I second that opinion. It works flawlessly.

Ignore what Butler just said. Add this to the end of your BL shortcut's target:

Code: [Select]

-profilePath "D:\Path\To\Your\Blockland"

That will not, and did not work. Starting with V20, Blockland will not open without the launcher and it seems the launcher is bound to look only in the documents folder of the CURRENT Operating system you are using.

What you do is:
 - Create a shortcut to BlocklandLauncher.exe.
 - Add the arguments that I told you to the end of the target.
