INTRODUCTION
When you run the Setup program to perform an automated installation of the
optional backward-compatible document libraries component, you may want to
change the location of the Web Storage System. This article describes how to
change the location where the Web Storage System is installed.
MORE INFORMATION
By default, when you install the optional component for backward-compatible
document libraries on a server that is running Microsoft SharePoint Portal
Server 2003, the Web Storage System is installed in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Storage System
Microsoft recommends that you install the Web Storage System to the default
location. However, if you want to change the location where the Web Storage
System is installed in an automated installation, you can edit the .ini file to
specify the location that you want. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Start Notepad, and then open the appropriate .ini file.
2. Locate the section that starts with the following line:
[gfn_mid microsoft web storage system]
3. In the section that you located in step 2, locate the
following line:
InstallDirectory=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Storage
System
Important Make sure that you identify the correct line in the correct section.
There are other lines in the .ini file that look similar to this line.
4. Change the path in the line that you located in step 3 to
specify the location that you want. The location must meet the following
criteria:
• The path must be located on a partition that is formatted with the NTFS file
system.
• You cannot specify the root of a hard disk as the new path. For example, you
cannot use F:\.
• The path can contain only characters in the lower ASCII range. You cannot use
characters in the higher ASCII range, and you cannot use double-byte character
set (DBCS) characters. • The path can contain a maximum of 65 characters.
5. Save the .ini file, and then quit Notepad.
