Already have CoH install but changed drives-how to avoid redownloading?

When you run the updater and it asks you to install, pick the directory where you already have the files. It will install the necessary registry information, see the files already there, and not have to download anything (providing you already have the patch from yesterday too). In some cases, it might still Verify Files though.

I think i must have done something wrong, however. I pointed the updater at the folder where the install is, and its now been doing it's thing for about half an hour and it says ''fixing files: piggs/playermale..."etc and there's 11 hrs to go apparently.
I'll just let it get on with it over night i guess.

The fixing files is the verify that the above poster mentioned. Basically, it found some file slightly different than what it is expecting and is changing it.
Now why the updater takes SSSSOOOO long is a who different discussion.
Arc 52555: Tower of Darkness
Arc 139668: Bob's Crazy Car Dealership
CoH was installed on my E drive. I recently changed my C drive which had windows on it, and now I'd like to tweak stuff so that i don't have to download the game again. How can i divert wherever the updater looks so that it finds my extant CoH?
