Hello, guys!
That's really stupid... the game install itself under a "temp" folder under system directory... but I really hate to install games under my C, specially because I don't have enough room. I tried to edit the registry and point to another folder, it was useless... the launcher didn't recognize it. Does anyone know how to install under other folder or know how to make a mini-launcher? I can't program... I tried to open the launcher's files to figure out anything but it was useless. Thanks for your help.

Mine too, they should've made it in the Outspark Launcher folder or something.

You mind telling me where the exact location Fiesta is installed to? Trying to uninstall it but can't do so. What is the name of the folder the files are in as well.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Outspark\Fiesta

I'm guessing the only way to uninstall it is to delete that folder?

The only way to uninstall is to erase its folder. It's a compressed file, not really an installer.
I figured out how to change the install folder, I just needed to hack the launcher config files.

Incase people still need to change their installation folder to be able to play. I found a bit of a workaround for this problem since I can not stand things installing on my OS drive, and wanted it on my game drive.

First I went to "Q:\Program Files\Outspark\OutsparkLauncher\rb\OutsparkGlobals .rb" This just happends to be the location I installed the launcher, so just go to where you installed the launcher, the rb folder and look for the file OutsparkGlobals.rb. Make a backup of the file incase you make a mistake. Then open the original file in notepad. Look for def get_appdata_path(). Under it will say appdata = "". Between the quotes add the path you would like to install to.

Mine looks like this appdata = "q:/Outspark" But use whatever path you would like to use. Make sure the drive you are putting it has at least 1.75gigs free, I would still say at least 2gigs to be safe though.

Make sure the quotes are still there and you use a / not a \. Such as "d:/Games/Outspark"

Now under the line that was just changed, there are a few lines that now need to be removed to make this new path work. Remove everything under the line we just changed until you get to the line appdata.gsub!("\\", "/"), leave that line and then save.

You are still going to need about 600megs free for the download file since it wants to put that in a temp dir on same drive your OS is installed. There is another workaround I did for this, but it gets to involved and it should be easy enough to make 600megs free for just the install file, rather then over 2gigs for the install and then game.

Open the launcher, and it should start Downloading the game. After the Download is done it will now install to the new path. Everything worked for me doing this, and playing the game on my games drive where it belongs

can we just move the folder and then replace the location target on the desktop shortcut lol?

You cant change it apparently its stupid i know. I swear why didn't they just make you download the whole installation instead of the freakin 5mb launcher.
