I’m trying to get GW2 onto a new SSD. It was previously installed on a hard drive.

I’ve tried all I know, including uninstalling the game.

I’m not seeing any options for disk location.

How do I do this?

FWIW, I’m installing the 64-bit client.

Running the launcher will install the game to its current folder. If you had it previously installed, you only needed to move your GW2 folder and simply replace Gw2.exe with the 64-bit version.

If you’ve uninstalled the game, the default location should be drive C

I am assuming that’s your SSD.

Healix – I wish I’d asked before uninstalling

SG – FWIW, yeah, my C drive is an SSD, but I have a second, E drive, for storage, which is where I want to put the game.

Edit: Oh, and I can just delete/past the game’s folder and redirect the shortcut and that will work?
After uninstalling, I ran the 64-bit installer and I get no options. It just starts up the launcher, starts downloading the files, and asks my login info.

If you really want to “install” it, rename Gw2-64.exe to Gw2Setup.exe or use the -allowInstall option.

OK. This worked: Just reinstalling using the 32-bit client and that gave me options.

I’ll add the 64-bit to the game folder once installation is done.

Thanks for the responses.
