I recently reset my Windows. And apparently the new epic launcher setup doesn’t ask for install location etc.
I would like to be able to install on a drive of my own choosing and not the default C drive. Please advise on how to do so.
I know this used to be possible. I even have a previous installation in D drive still (just the installed files)
Yes please we need this functionality back. All of my game related software is required to be installed on another drive.
Searching for answers has an official Epic page stating to just uninstall and reinstall and it will ask. It does not ask.
Every launcher offers this option in 2026. I’m uninstalling Epic Games Launcher until this feature is added. I don’t have much space on my C: drive to install whatever I want. I rely on my other drives for that.
bump. I just hit the same problem.

The launcher had this option in the past. Now it’s gone. So no Epic games until this option back.
Bro, I have been troubleshooting for hours now and found this thread. Why THE HELL isn’t this an option anymore???
I need to install the launcher on a different drive. This is crazy.
Just found this information…
You need to start the installer from a cmd prompt with /installdir as paramter.
e.g. epicInstaller.exe /installdir
