Are you saying that the "Select Destination Directory" dialog box doesn't
allow you to select your E: drive?  Or just that you'd rather not need to
select the drive you want?

I apparently left this comment in the Wise script:

    Note from Tim:  doesn't seem to be a way to get the true boot drive,
    the Wizard hardcodes "C".

So, AFAIK, there isn't a straightforward way to get Wise 8.14 to suggest a
drive other than C:.  Perhaps it would work better for you if I removed the
Wizard-generated hardcoded "C:" (I don't know which drive Wise would pick
then), but since yours is the only complaint about this I've seen, and I
have no way to test such a change, I'm very reluctant to fiddle with it.
