just need to install in on a different hard drive. ;)

first, i am not using arc.

there is no sto entry in the "remove programms" control panel and no uninstal option in the launcher or game folder.

i could simply delete the game folder but i dont want some dead entrys in my registry.

    You'll have to go into the game directory, but it looks like there's an executable in there that should do the trick.

    Just move your game directory to the new drive and make a new shortcut(s) to "Star Trek Online.exe". When I replaced my old laptop with my current one that's what I did and it works fine.

    Funny. I just checked and my Steam copy of STO doesn't show up in "Programs and Features" either. :confused:

    The free version of CCleaner has an option to fix dead registry entries. But if you've been running it without having properly installed it in the first place, I'd say just do what zbzzn said.

    Alternatively, uninstall it with futurepastnow's exe, and then reinstall it with the standalone installer I link in my sig.

    This, I don't think I've ever uninstalled the game since I played the f2p, and I changed 2-3times my main drive.

    It sounds like the OP is reconfiguring his computer to have a separate drive for the OS and for applications. This is not a bad idea. But yeah, it's easiest to implement with a clean OS install.
