I would like to install Windows using non-standard directory names, e.g C:\Foo
for Windows folder, or C:\Foo\Bar
for the System folder.
In theory, it should work as applications should ask the actual path for Windows and System folders with specific APIs (GetWindowsDirectory, GetSystemDirectory, SHGetFolderPath).
I would like to avoid any kind of folder redirection or hardlinks.
Basically, I have two goals:
- Test applications to avoid dependencies on hard coded paths
- Use nicer folder names, especially System64 for 64 bit stuff instead of System32
