Noob BOINC question

Just finished SETI classic after a 6 1/2 year run and am trying to install and run BOINC. SETI is my first project choice followed by Climate Prediction. However, the drive where my OS is doesn't have enough disk space for Climate Prediction so I'd like to run BOINC, or at least use the disk space on another drive. I can't see how to do that. Any suggestions?
 
As far as I know that's not possible. BOINC doesn't support a variable to set the disk it should swap to after it was installed.

The only thing I could think of would be to just transfer the whole BOINC fodler to another drive that has enough space left. But I'm not sure about that one. I know it worked with earlier versions of BOINC and should still work.
 
Why not just install it on the other drive, thats what I do.

My Boinc is installed on D:\ since then it will be in my backup 🙂
 
I have tried different ways. The only way it really works is to install the whole BOINC-program (with all subdirectories) on a different drive (i.e. D:\programs\boinc\ ... etc)
That should have no negative consequences.
An other option you have is to move the swapfile to an other (preferably faster) drive - that will gain you many 100 MBytes on your boot drive.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions. Not sure yet which way to try. Is there an unofficial BOINC FAQ I don't know about?
