I'm trying to have my Minecraft appdata folder on a different partition (from now on referred to as D:). This is what should be where:

D:
    Steam
    Minecraft
        .minecraft

This is my batch file:

@ECHO OFF
SET APPDATA= D:\Minecraft
CD /D %~dp0
java -jar minecraft.jar

It's supposed to set the %APPDATA% folder (where Minecraft stores its data) to D:\MinecraftD:\Minecraft, go there, and launch the minecraft.jarminecraft.jar downloaded from minecraft.net. However, when I run it, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" net.minecraft.bootstrap.FatalBootstrapError: Unable to create directory:  D:\Minecraft\.minecraft  
        at net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:369)

What am I doing wrong? Have the steps for making Minecraft portable in 1.6.2 differed?

Are the steps for making Minecraft portable in 1.6.2 different from the steps used before?
