I moved my Windows 3.1 directory from C:\WINDOWS to E:\WINDOWS after
installing Warp Connect 3.0 red box.  Now, I'm having trouble
installing audio and video driver support for Win-OS2 because they are
still looking to place their Win-OS2 drivers in C:\WINDOWS.  I am
looking for a way to manually edit my OS/2 configuration files to
change the drive reference from C: to E:.  Here is what I've tried so
far:

(1) Editing CONFIG.SYS TO ensure that that E:\WINDOWS is in my PATH=,
DPATH, and LIBPATH statements and that there are no references to
C:\WINDOWS.  Did the same with AUTOEXEC.BAT PATH statement.

(2) I noticed that OS2.INI has an entry PM_INSTALL with key
WINOS_LOCATION set with the value C:\WINDOWS.  I changed this value to
E:\WINDOWS using the INITOR program, saved and rebooted, but still the
installation programs looks to drive C:.

There must be some other setting that I'm missing because the above
doesn't fix the problem.  Any advice is appreciated.
