Currently ZD can't not be installed under %PROGRAMFILES% : Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop - Zimbra :: Wiki, known issues (3).

Here is the workaround:

1) stop ZD service (Administrative Tools->Service->Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop Service->stop

2) backup these 3 folders: derby, index and store

3) uninstall ZD completely.

4) rerun ZD installer and install it at suggested default location: /Users/<user name>/AppData/..."

5) after successful installation, stop ZD service again

6) copy over those 3 folders you have backed up earlier, overwriting the ones at new installation location.

7) start ZD

Now it's broke, seriously, great joke but it's not April 1st quite.

I don't want to lose my mail, obviously.

It doesn't matter if I used the link or startup zdesktop.exe from explorer.
