I do not have the spare 100gb or so that the PTS seems to require, on my SSD. Is it not possible to download the PTS and run it on a different Harddrive? If so, how do i do that?

    I have it on a different harddrive,

    I basically installed it and then moved it to another drive,
    I would try the following,

    Copy the launcher folder to the other drive and then try running it from there,
    I dunno if it will work but hey its something to try.

    I actually have ESO folder with all the installed folders on my external and just update them there.. Then copy them to the various locations on my gaming pc.

    To avoid copying folders, which can be wonky sometimes, just download the launcher to another drive and proceed as normal.

    It works. just make a new folder on the second hard drive. Name it what ever you want. place the copy of the launcher folder in there and run the launcher exe from there. When the launcher opens you will have the install button at the bottom. don't press it. go to the options on the top right and check the box to show Public Test Environment. apply then you will see the pts Install in the launcher. install from there. I suggest you make a shortcut of the new launcher and rename the shortcut to something like pts_only or something like that so you know which launcher you are starting. GL HF
