Win-OS2 path in OS2.INI

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.

The is a file called REINSTAL.INI in the OS2\INSTALL directory.

This file also contains the WIN-OS/2 location and IS used by the system.
The path in OS2.INI is - as far as I know - not really used.

Much thanks. REINSTAL.INI was indeed the problem.  I can now run the
S3 video driver setup program without problems.
