You can copy the folder C:\Espressif to another drive, but then you will need to change in the python-files (gen_appbin.py and others) from the folder C:\Espressif\utils way to the gcc compiler and compile a new executable files (*. exe). To compile the python-to-exe to install Python 2.7
Also, you will need to change paths in project files Makefile and Eclipse
Can this drive option change be available as a part of installer?
Yes, I plan to do the installation in any location
Maybe there is a workaround for this, ie mklink -D C:\Espressif E:\Espressif
in Windows 7+.
Run a mklink
do nothing but 'custom installation path', so there is no need to modify hard-code components.
What's more, WICED-SDK-3.7.0-IDE-Installer contains a script called fix_directories.pl
, it can be another solution, in my opinion.
Custom Installation path option shall be available for Espressif-ESP8266-DevKit windows application. It normally installs in C drive but it shall be configurable.
