Hello,by default the client is installed to the C drive, that is something you can not change. However, you can choose the location where your games will be installed.
Cheers,

by default the client install path should to be change to have option of were I want it installed or the client is useless and should never been pushed for download to run any the games at this time and date. as this is Windows 10 not windows 2008. 90% of todays gaming providers all ready has this option for there gaming client app.

I asked the same question right after the migration became available and got the same it-can't-be-done answer.
However, I found a way to do it.
With a bit of searching, I found an old forum post with a gameforge.com link to an offline installer for an older version of the client. This installer allows you to choose the client's install location. Once installed, you need to open and close the client a couple times and it will update to the current version of the client. My client is currently on my D: drive and seems to be working fine.
It would be nice if Gameforge would provide a similar offline installer for the current version of the client.
Alternately, you could create a symbolic link between where the client wants to be installed and where you want it to be installed. This will allow it to function as if it's installed in the default location while actually being installed elsewhere. But the process is a bit complicated and requires the use of the Command Prompt/Windows PowerShell.

Link--> Gameforge Client issues <--Link
(is it just me, or do links look no different from normal text?)

They don't, except there's a symbol showing that text is linked if you use an out-bound link. Otherwise the way the forum is setup, it makes in-bound local links look like normal text...which honestly is a pain and makes it weird when someone just says "Gameforge Client Issues" and there's no obvious sign it's a link until your hover over it and you're shown you can click it with your cursor change.
Definitely not user-friendly at all to be honest.

Hello,
please feel informed that we don't recommend or support any manual client file transfers as it can lead to different issues.
