Installing Reader 10.1 to a drive OTHER THAN 'C' drive

Hi. Can anyone provide guidance on how to install Adobe Reader 10.1 to a hard drive other than the C drive?
At no point during the installation process is the user given the option to select a drive letter. I need space on my C drive and want to install this rather sizeable utility on my E drive.
My O/S is XP Pro 2002 (SP 3)
Thanks,
SD

I assume you are downloading the Reader using the download manager, aren't you.
Just download the EXE or the MSI installer from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/ and execute e.g. either of the following files:
AdbeRdr1010_en_US.exe
AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
Then you should be able to change the destination folder...

Move some of the "crap" off the C drive. Programs only install to the default OS drive.
Or upgrade the computer to a larger hard drive.

How do I assign a file to a drive other than the drive that contains my program software?

I've just installed a video editing program on my new Mac Pro Xeon 64 bit workstation. I want to ensure that all my media files reside on a drive other than the drive that contains programs. I had no problem doing this on my old Dell. How do I do this on my Mac Pro? -- Gary

Application Preferences.
Next time, 'what' program would also help.
Most people do setup with a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps, .then use other drives or array(s) for media, scratch as needed, including external hardware RAID.

How do I install Air 3 on a hard drive other than C drive?

I am installing Adobe Air 3.1.0 on a Win XP sp 3 computer which has the hard drive partitioned.
How do I get the installer to let me specify the location of the program install so that it doesn't install on C drive?

Hi,
I suggest posting this query in the Adobe Air forum.

Installing on drive other than C drive

I am new to the Cloud. At present paying for Dreamweaver. I would like to reinstall to a different drive but don't remember getting option in first installation. Anyone have a clue ?

, Yes I see it and as I mentioned earlier "perhaps I wasn't following you correctly". I wasn't, I was looking at "Preferences" in the Dreamweaver program itself. Thanks for the screenshot and time taken to help.. I changed to a different folder and drive and then downloaded trial Acrobat and it still loaded program in the C drive. I guess that option is for files to be synced to the clouds. Apparently Adobe doesn't give an option of where you want a program installed. I think some programs like Photoshop can be installed and then have the program and related files moved to another folder and work just fine. Some programs like Dreamweaver cannot. Must have something to do with the different amounts of communication needed between Win or Mac and programs when loading. Thanks again

System folders on another drive other than boot drive

hi, guys...
does anyone know anything about moving your folders such as "documents, photos, movies, music" to an external drive or separate partition in snow leopard? or how this might affect Lion?
i've found some online documentation that shows you can move your entire home folder (which i don't want to do), and some documentation that you can use symbolic links (via a few terminal commands) so that the actual system folder can be moved elsewhere with an alias being the actual reference folder.
the reason i want to do this is to move my music and photo folders to a storage partition. i add and delete so often on these that it ends up fragmenting my drive and bogs down my startup disk. also, i'm going to move soon to an SSD as my startup drive, either 128 or 240 gb and use it only for system files and move all my data elsewhere.
but as you know, os x likes certain things in the default folders.
so i guess i'm looking for anyone's thoughts on this.
oh, and i do have a question. if i can use a symbolic link and have the actual data reside elsewhere, if i do a time machine backup and it's backing up all my system and user folders, will it backup the data that resides elsewhere, or would i have to actually back up separately from the other location where the music and photos reside?
is this making any sense to anyone?

makes a lot of sense. I am looking for an answer myself. My documents folder long ago outgrew it's place on the boot drive. It would be nice to keep it in the user folder organized on another disc

How do i install itunes on another drive other than c

I would like to install itunes on a drive other than c drive in a fresh install to keep it free from my operating system.Itunes is not currently installed on my computer, so i dont need to transfer anything or move anything and i dont want to put itunes on a external hard drive as i just simply want to do a fresh install on a drive other than c drive. Can itunes accomodate me in this simple task.

Install it normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the desired drive. The iTunes application contains system components and therefore must be installed on the drive or partition containing the OS.

Install on a drive other than C, E or G.

Install CS6 on a drive other than C. Drive E or G.

You can install Adobe apps on any drive you choose during install. Just be aware that no matter what some components will always be installed on the system root drive.

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

Hello there,
Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
Thanks!

Can I instal Reader to a drive other than C:?

Is someone able to tell me how to instal Reader to a drive other than C:?
I am trying to free up space on C: and prefer to load the Reader files into another drive, but I did not see an option to do that when downloading, and the installer just starts automatically without prompting for a target folder.

Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click on Change Destination Folder

How can I install Adobe Reader 11 to a drive other than C:\?

I downloaded Reader 11, but at no point during the installation process am I prompted for an installation location. How can I install this to a drive other than the C:\? I keep my C:\ and data storage drive separate so in the event the OS crashes I won't lose my data. I have limited storage capacity since I'm on a laptop so I didn't make my C:\ very large, so that I would have more room for my D:\. Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
LT Gannon

having data on a different drive is a good idea. installing programs on a drive different from you os containing drive is generally not a good idea. but if you have the expertise and are sure of what you're doing:
mac: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac/11.x/11.0.00/misc/
win: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5515

How can I install to a drive other than C?

I installed the CS6 Master Collection trial version. During the installation, I specified a destination folder on my D: drive (C: is a small SSD drive meant to hold only Windows).
For the 32-bit versions of the programs, the shortcuts created in the Start Menu point to the D: location I specified during installation, but clicking on them gets me a "file not found" error, because the actual programs were placed on the C: drive. They work if I copy the installed Adobe folder and its full contents over to the appropriate D: location.
The 64-bit versions are a different mess: Unlike with the 32-bit versions, the installer placed the 64-bit versions of the programs in the specified D: drive folder, but when I attempt to start the programs, I get the "Configuration Error: Please uninstall and reinstall the program; Error: 1" message. Presumably this is because some of the configuration files or settings the programs are looking for are actually pointing to locations on the C: drive, where the installer put them despite my directions. But I have no idea which files or settings they are, or how to find them.
How can I fix these configuration errors and get the 64-bit versions working?
If anyone from Adobe sees this, can you please fix the installer so that it installs the ENTIRE package where I specified, and that all the various pieces installed know where the rest of the pieces are in a non-C drive installation?
My system:
Windows 7 SP1
Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM
C drive: 60GB SSD (Windows system files)
D drive: 1TB HDD (All other programs and files, including my Windows User folders)

Yes, I have redirected my User folder to the D: drive.
I know that some shared components must reside on the C: drive; that's fine. I just don't have room for the entire installation on there.
The real issue here is that, when a drive other than C: is selected as the destination, the CS6 package installs into a broken state every time, out of the gate, on my system. Some components get installed to D: and some to C:, but the various components of the programs seem confused about what exists where, as shown below:
I select a folder on D: as the destination folder for the install, and here is what I get:
64-bit versions of the package -- Program files are installed to the D: drive as specified, but attempting to start them results in a configuration error message stating that the program must be uninstalled and reinstalled, and lists "Error code: 1".
32-bit versions of the package -- Program files are installed to the C: drive against what I specified. The shortcuts installed in the Start menu for the 32-bit versions point to the locations where these program files SHOULD be, on the D: drive. If the Adobe folder containing the program files is copied over to the correct location on D:, these programs function normally with no errors.
I have the 32-bit versions working by copying the program files from C: to D:. I just want to get the 64-bit versions working as well.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated; I'm really looking forward to testing the CS6 suite on my system!

How do I install CC Desktop and Apps to a drive other than "C"?

After several problems, help from the forum, and finally an Adobe tech from India, the tech was able to install CC Desktop. The tech had to make hidden files visible, and change an existing file OO?? (I can't remember the last two letters") to OO??_old. Maybe this will help someone else.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but as the tech was downloading and installing CC Desktop, I didn't see any option for which drive to install it on. I am now installing CC apps. I see no option as to which drive to install the app.
I have my computer setup as C: operating system; D: sctratch; E: programs; F: files, G: cd/dvd.
How can I install CC Desktop to "E"? If done, will CC apps automatically install on "E"? Will CC Desktop work properly on other than "C" drive? Will CC apps work properly on other than "C" drive? If CC Desktop should always be on "C", can I stll install CC apps on "E"? I get no dialog box or window providing an option of where to install any of the CC programs.

While CCApp Prefs does give you this option, it doesn't respect the settings and still installs to C: Drive. This is a big problem for those using an SSD drive to boot. Why would something as simple as choosing your install folder, like every other application in the world be an issue that has taken over a year to fix?

Install Adobe CC apps on a drive other than C?

Can I install CC apps on a drive other than C? If so, how?

It does indeed:
I haven't tried it either, in fact I've always heard that the smart thing is to install in the default location. But the option is there. Keep in mind that a lot of stuff will go to the user folder on the C drive in any case, so you can't keep it entirely off C.
Normally I'd ask "why?" - but SSDs have brought back space restrictions, at least for a while. I'm getting a little worried for my 240 GB system/apps SSD, which is very nearly full pretty soon.
