There are some differences between them that should be explored. The files is use are the following ones (DLLs and Semaphores):Ĭ:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Autodesk REX.evtxĬ:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Sync\QtXml_Ad_SyncNs_4.dllĬ:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Sync\QtNetwork_Ad_SyncNs_4.dllĬ:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Sync\QtSql_Ad_SyncNs_4.dllĬ:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Sync\QtCore_Ad_SyncNs_4.dllĬ:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Sync\AdSyncNamespace.dllĪlthough the Junction type was used in the example, the symbolic link will work also for a standard use.
The following screenshot shows the results in my computer: Those files can be found with Process Explorer or similar software using the search function. In case it is desired to be done with the other Autodesk folders, a further workaround is required because some files are in use even in Safe mode. Junction created for C:\ProgramData\Autodesk > H :\DriveC\ProgramData\Autodesk It echoes a message that operation was successful: MKLINK /J "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk" "H :\DriveC\ProgramData\Autodesk"
You can change the location games are installed in the Origin client if you go to Application Settings - Advanced.
#Origin download to different hard drive install#
This is the command ran to generate a Junction Link, from msdos Command prompt: You can keep Origin itself installed on your C drive and install the games on a different drive. Luckily the ProgramData folder rised no issues because no file or library was in use during such safe mode. Finally tried moving " C:\ProgramData\Autodesk" to "H:\DriveC\ProgramData\Autodesk" and working perfectly, provided that you are in Safe Mode.
