So I went from XP to Windows 7 and tried to be all sneaky by just moving STO to a new drive and then installing 7 on another since my main XP drive was appearing to be near death.
Upon trying to run the game, I get into the patcher and all logged in and it starts to patch and then it crashes.
My attempt was to keep myself from redownloading the game.
I beg of you Internet STO masters, tell me there is an easy fix or do I have to wait for ages for downloading again?
the initial installation is required to set up all the registery setting. Like where the launcher should send the patchs. If that is not setup then the launcher could be trying to access a directory or drive that does not exisit.

backup your ST:O folder ie just rename it
then install ST::O to where you want it to live perminantly
once installed replace the install with your backup this will eliminate the possibility of it being an issue of missing components
if you still have the same issue after installing run a force verify
