Ultramon 2.6 allowed me to install to a different drive. 3.x.xx doesn't seem to allow for that now, unless I am missing something. I clicked the disk usage button, but that didn't give me any options to change drives at all, just showed that all available drives had the necessary free space for install. I do not like installing application to C:\ as that is my OS only drive. I really like what Ultramon adds, but I really don't like applications that don't give me the rightful choice to decide where on my computer I install things.
Please let me know if I missed something.

This change was made because UltraMon requires UIAccess privileges on Windows 7/Vista, which by default only get granted if the application is installed in a secure location.
You can still install UltraMon in a different folder by setting the MAINDIR property on the command line, this is not recommended though and several UltraMon components will still get installed in default locations (Windows and System32 folders for example).

Hrm. Is there no way to have the installer detect if a user is using XP (as I am) and allowing for installation elsewhere? Or would that require too much extra work?

Currently there are no plans to add support for this, but on XP you can safely install UltraMon in a folder other than Program Files. Please note that some files still get installed in Windows and System32, for example the UltraMon screen saver and shared components like UltraMon.dll.
To install UltraMon to a different folder, open a command prompt then run the following command:
msiexec /i "<setupfile>" MAINDIR="<folder>"
For example: msiexec /i "C:\Temp\UltraMon_3.0.10_en_x32.msi" MAINDIR="D:\Programs\UltraMon"
