You could use Partition Magic (the $70 is worth it if you can't find "other"
means of aquiring it). It comes with an additional program called Magic
Mover which can place a complete program and all of it's folder contents in
a new directory, even on another drive. And there will be no problem
running it because it corrects system and .dll files to point to the new
directory.
I use it often and never have had a problem with it.
