You can change where the data file goes in the "game preferences" section. Under custom user data path.

What kind of PC are you installing the game to? Is it on a network?

i have xp

there is a network for my work useage


but i am at home right now and offline

when i try to install the game i get the message

I'm not an expert at this by any means, just another user, but it seems to me that the network must be the problem. Becasue of the network the game can't create it's data directory where it can get to it - that's my guess.
