WDK install issue

Does anyone know of a way to specify the installation directory when the MSI
has disabled the browse functionality? I do not have enough harddrive space
on C: and would like to install to D: instead.

Run the MSI from the command line, e.g.:

msiexec /i <your msi file> TARGETDIR=<your target directory>

If that doesn't work, try INSTALLDIR=<your target directory>.

If this is the latest WDK there is a trick to enable browsing. If you are
installing the WDK but not the DTM choose custom then select the driver kit
entry (forget the exact name, but it is the item below the top item in the
tree control) this will enable the browse. This works on 5308 but not the
previous version.

Thanks. You have to select "Driver Development Kit" in the tree control to
enable the browse button.
