Not enough space to install LP4

[Ventisly]

<p>Ugh, tried to upgrade to LP4 by installing the new EQ2_setup.exe in my existing EQ2 folder and it's giving me an error that EQ2 requires 15 GB of drive space but I only have 7GB free.  You might say, "OMG you only have 7 GB free on your hard dirve?!?!?!" and I would normally agree but I have a dedicated SSD drive for EQ2 so that's what I have free and it's more than enough normally since I don't use the drive for anything else.  Are there any options besides me moving EQ2 to my main drive?  Is there a way to override this unnecessary space check since I don't really need 15 GB free since it won't be downloading a whole new copy of the game?</p>

<p>I'm watching football and wanted to login to eq2.  My laptop only has one SSD and it's almost full.  A little over 3GB free space.  Please help me install this game without reinstalling.</p><p>EDIT.  The game is already installed, 3GB is after the eq2 (prior to AOD) installation.</p><p>EDIT 2.  I shared my EQ2 install directory of my desktop and copied the files via network suggested above and it installed fine.  ty</p>
