%HOMEDRIVE% Set to Something Other Than C:

[JB]

In our corporate environment, %HOMEDRIVE% is set to H: drive (my
public network share) and %HOMEPATH% doesn't exist. How can I get
Railsinstall to NOT put my .ssh directory on my public H: drive? Or
better yet, now that it is there, how can I move it to my C:/Users/
username home directory?

[Luis Lavena]

That is actually Ruby's fault.

The assumption on Windows is that your home folder is in the following
environment variables:

HOME
HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH
USERPROFILE

And the problem in your case is that HOMEDRIVE is a network drive.

You can test this behavior doing File.expand_path("~")

I recommend you set HOME variable and point it to the directory you want.

Perhaps the installer should be checking if HOME is set before.
