I just installed the latest galiltools v1.4 (win32). It doesn't allow you to specify a target directory. I would like to install galiltools into a non-standard directory (not c:\Program Files\..). Is there a way to do this?
Another question: does the installer modify the system in any way aside from dumping files into the target directory? ie. does it modify the registry, etc?

To answer you second question first. There is more done in the installer than just copying files.
Assuming 32 bit OS:
vcredist_x86.exe is installed (Microsoft Runtimes)
The PCI driver is installed (if chosen) with DPInst
The com component is installed:
regsvr32 /s "$INSTDIR\bin\GalilClass0.dll
We create start menu and desktop icons
We set up file associations for .dmc, .con, and .project
Add we add ourselves to the Add/Remove programs in the control panel
With that said, if you are only using the GUI, you should be able to copy the installation directory, then uninstall the GalilTools installation. The copy of the GUI will still funtion (no PCI)

GalilTools requires this package(and installs it automatically if the Galil installer is used)

First of all, thanks for your reply. That is the information I needed.
However, your second reply confuses me. In your first reply, you stated that
>> vcredist_x86.exe is installed (Microsoft Runtimes)
Isn't that what your link points to? So isn't the Visual Studio 2008 runtime already installed? I just ran the standard galiltools installer on a system where Visual Studio is not installed and it works fine (I haven't moved the directory yet)

Sorry, that is misleading. I meant if you copy the files to another PC and haven't installed GalilTools, you'll need to install the runtimes.
