When I install SQL Server 2005, I don't see an option to specify the transaction log file location so I am forced to install and then move the log file after the fact. Is this by design or am I missing something?

You can choose db file path, both data and log files, during installation. Then set default log file path in server properties, just like what you did in sql2k em.

I didn't see the option when I looked for it, I will have to run through it again. I did set the default after and ran a script to move them to the new location. I just figured there HAD to be a way to do it in the install.
