How to move the Data-Path?

[t.i.m]

Hi zdusers,

I use Zimbra Desktop 7.0.1. b10791 for Windows XP. How can I change the data-path zimbra desktop is using? Per default it is configuered to use

C:\documents and settings\<username>\...\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop

Now, I want to change the location to an other drive:

D:\ZimbraData\Zimbra Desktop

I found a little hint (at this moment I dont know where):

1) quit ZD; copy the data from the existing location 
(c:\documents and settings\...\Zimbra Desktop) to the new location

2) update this registry key with your new path to data:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\DataRoot

I ve done it, but Zimbra Desktop wont start. It tries to initialize and in the old path an empty folder "Zimbra Desktop" is created. But than all stops.

I found many files including hardcoded the old path:

- in Zimbra Desktop\data\conf\zdesktop.conf
- in Zimbra Desktop\data\conf\localconfig.xml
- in Zimbra Desktop\zdesktop.webapp\override.ini

I found an other place in registry containing the old path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\Prism\OverridePath

So this way seams a bit tricky. Has any one a solution how to move the data-path?

kind regards
Tim

yeah would be really interesting. we want to deploy zimbra desktop but we have roaming profiles. zimbra desktop is useless with roaming profiles..
