Let me add a little 'gotcha' that I was nailed with this morning with in relation to SmarterMail.  I changed my Windows machine name on my SmarterMail box, and the damn software stopped functioning without so much as a pop-up.  This was only apparent in the Webmail interface, and unfortunately a client of mine had to tell me this at 8 a.m. while I was on my way home after I spent the night in the data center doing planned maintenance.  Thankfully it took my original registration information and unlocked itself.  VERY thankfully, it didn't reject the incoming E-mail, so that was all spooled and ready for it to come back up.  I'm annoyed though by the illogical dependency and how it makes me look to my customers.

BTW, I changed my default locations in my SmarterMail 2.6 install similar to yours, and while most everything works, I can't modify any of the skins, and their support stopped responding to my thread.  I that they are not very used to people wanting to change things like default directories, but naturally it makes sense to not want everything on your C: drive.  With defaults I'm sure it works flawlessly.

Our setup sounds similar to yours.  We had Declude on C: and it kept trying
to install the new stuff to J: (where the SmarterMail mailboxes are).  It
wouldn't copy in the new files even after we backed up and deleted all the
existing files.  We finally went into the registry and deleted the entire
ComputerizedHorizons key so the installer wouldn't know about the previous
installation.  We installed and copied in our old settings files and
modified them to add the new Declude options.  

Took a lot longer than it should have, but at least it worked.

Our setup is across multiple drives.  I'm curious to know what issues
you had.  I know on another server where we recently installed Declude
3, we had an issue with Declude proc getting installed to D:\ when
everything else was on C:\.  This was resolved by moving the exe to C:\
and updating the service to reference the proper location.  Did you face
something similar?


    
We did have some trouble getting Declude to install.  We're fairly sure
      
it
    
was because we had done a manual install of version 2.x that used
      
several
    
drives.  I haven't heard of many problems from other people, and in our
case a little registry editing took care of it.
