Game installed but now I can't find it anywhere

[Panic]

Hello Guys,

So i recently took a break from the game and tonight when i re-installed it, I can't seem to find it where I had it install to?
Any help?

what OS? what Drive is your OS on?

look in C:program files\Hitech Creations.

Shouldn't the game rather install into C:\Hitech Creations instead under Program Files? At least that has been the default since an update many years ago and I haven't heard about changing it. Installing into another than default folder can cause all kinds of problems according to what I've been reading even quite recently on this very board.

Yes. I guess some anti-virus programs could interfere with the installer though. I built an auto-installer for my custom sounds and we had one member with that issue. I don't recall which AV it was.

that is where mine is, but I thought I moved it awhile ago.....

I thought default was still in Program files.

Nope, the default has been C:\Hitech Creations for quite a long time. Can't tell how long, my oldest update package is from early March 2012, but I might have done some cleaning in that folder before that.

Since Vista messed things up.

The reason we moved the game from the "Program Files" folder was primarily due to how Microsoft forces all sub-files in that folder into a virtual store, which has no direct path to it.  It made supporting the game a nightmare.

Microsoft does other things with files and directories in the "Program Files" folder(s) which can cause performance issues.

Personally, I stopped using the "Program Files" folder(s) since Windows 98SE.

You never want to install the game (or really anything) in the "Program Files" folder(s).  If you want to move the game from the default location (I use a "Games" folder on my computer), then it should not be a problem.

As far as where the game is, you can use the "Start" menu to locate it, unless you are unfortunate enough to have Windows 8.  In which case, simply wait until Windows 8.1 is ready in October, or use the Windows Search tool to find "aceshigh.exe".
