Creative Cloud - BUG Changing Installation Directory for Apps

I searched and could only find this similar post here
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5498967#5498967
Which stated the issue I am experiencing.  In the preferences of the creative cloud desktop program I changed the installation directory to D drive because I have my main hard drive partitioned and the programs would take up too much space on C.  Regardless of the change in preferences the applications were still installing to my C drive.  I tried restarting and reinstalling and nothing seemed to work. 
Finally I decided to reallocate my D partition back to C, I have yet to complete this because I am waiting for all the data on D to be transferred to an external drive so I can recombine it to C without losing data ( I don't know if this is necessary, I haven't recombined partitions in the operating system before, but just to be safe)
ANYWAY
As I am waiting for the transfer (Over 120gbs takes a while)  I changed the installation directory in the Creative Cloud preferences back to C and went ahead and installed the program I was trying to prior to all this.  Guess What?  It installed to my D drive!!!
This isn't a serious bug for me, just incredibly annoying and causing a lot of extra work on my part just to install the program I wanted.  However for someone who requires a different directory to install to and cannot rearrange their computer to accommodate this bug I could see it being more serious.  Has anyone else had this issue and did you find a solution?  Thanks.
P.S. Adobe you rock, I hope your other CC programs don't feel rushed for release like your installer does

ADOBE WILL TRY TO DELETE YOUR LEGACY APPS!!!!  Do NOT let them! They could put you out of business! Here is a tech support transcript, see for yourselves:
Vipin: May I have your permission to connect to your computer remotely and try to solve the problem while you watch?
ADOBE CUSTOMER: I need to know that NONE of my legacy adobe apps will be affected. CS5 suite and CS6 products will NOT be affected is that right??????????????
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to dixxx.net at the end of your chat.
Vipin: It will be affected.
ADOBE CUSTOMER: WHOA! you are saying that my CS% and CS 6 apps will be hurt and not run correctly is that right?
Vipin: We need to remove all the Adobe apps installed on your computer.
Vipin: Is that okay.
Vipin: May I have your permission to connect to your computer remotely and try to solve the problem while you watch?
ADOBE CUSTOMER: There is no way I give permission to delete CS5 creative suite, CS6 video production suite or hurt them in any way what so ever. I have THOUSANDS of dollars of plugins and other workfow products that depend on them. Sorry but my only recourse is to
ADOBE CUSTOMER: see if you have ANY loyalty to an OVER 30 years adobe customer (me) when you demand payout for the remaining 5 months of the subscription. I'm betting you will just send the bill to collections for non payment. If so, you WILL be sued for non service and non delivery of product. And yes, I am ready to spend over xxxx on a suit vs adobe because of how you have treated me. The point is I know that I am not alone, and that's sad.
Then after TECH NO SUPPORT, CSRs try to 'handle' me:
If you do decide to cancel, we can refund your subscription.
If you stay with the service, we can provide 2 free months as an apology for the technical difficulties. We cannot provide a free year.
Please let me know which you would like to do.
Thanks,
Britt

ADOBE CUSTOMER:You want me to stay with a service that provides no product? And has not provided me with a usable product since October of 2014? And now the word is out that you are raising subscription prices after the first year? Who do you think you are? You HURT peoples ability to earn a living! You cost us hours and days and months trying trying to fix your problems so we can move forward with your products? Who in the hell do you think you are? Tell you what, dont cancel a thing. A media blitz and maybe a subpoena to San Jose is the right move to protect peoples rights. Your company needs to learn a lesson in how to treat legacy customers. It seems no one has taught you that "if you take care of the customer, they will take care of adobe." Britt, care to guess how many dollars I have given adobe in almost 30 years?
Adobe Creative Cloud Hi ADOBE CUSTOMER:
We value all our customers and would love to help resolve your issue. Would you like to arrange a callback with tech support? I can make sure the technician is a senior staff member that can offer more troubleshooting solutions. Let me know if you would like to schedule this, and what a suitable time would be.
Thanks,
Britt

Adobe Creative Cloud Regarding Creative Cloud prices, it is noted on the purchasing page that some subscriptions offer "promotional rates for the first year only." Our full subscription terms can be viewed here: https://www.adobe.com/misc/subscription_terms.html

ADOBE CUSTOMER: You see, that is EXACTLY how you should take care of a customer. Tell them they are wrong and have it NOT RELATED to a simple request to FIX a company software PROBLEM. Tell your customers that after FOUR months of unusability of your product, DAYS of the customer trying to fix the company problem, that your solution is give them TWO months FREE then JACK the price up for them! You MUST have thousands of people in LINE to YOU to get this celebrated DEAL!

ADOBE CUSTOMER: I have a hunch some adobe board members are going to have fun with your conversation and offer, Britt. I would hush up now before you have to look for a different job because I know you mean well BUT you have no experience or skills solving a client's issues and in fact, you are hurting adobe's future earnings.

ADOBE CUSTOMER: The Russian cracked version of PS 2014 will have to do on another clients machine until you have a total new WORKING release. I'm tired of being your company's test pig, doing the boiler plate cleaner routines, and having the same failures. It's one thing to have broken software, but NOT acceptable to treat customers the way I have been treated, and then, be greedy on a remediation offer from you.
You say,"We value all our customers."  Again, clearly NO ONE from the BOD has taught you that if you take care of the customer, then the customer will take care of adobe.
You guys and gals have essentially asked for a fight, and a fight you shall have. good night.

  • Is it possible to purchase creative cloud file storage without paying for apps?

    Just curious but why would you want to pay Adobe for storage? It's bad enough now days that people have to rent their software for CC.
    Have you considered things such as: Box - Dropbox - Google Drive - SkyDrive - etc., (to name a few). Many of which have better features than Adobe's offering and come with less the trouble to deal with relative to many threads found on the forum concerning issues.

  • Is is possible to use creative cloud as a shared volume for collaboration between incopy & indesign?

    I'm a designer student and as a designer, I constantly have to make decks for presentations.  I typically work in a group of six and because I'm confident with graphic design, I tend to be the leader of these tasks.  I've found the best workflow for slide creation is Indesign.  Unfortunatly, I'm just an awful writer— so when I heard about Incopy's collabrative features(saw the post from indesign's facebook page) I saw oppertunity and got very excited.  My teamates and I typically all have subscriptions to adobe cc because of this, I was wondering (since I havent used it at all) if the storage given out from adobe cc was able to be that shared volume that is required for the live link between incopy stories and indesign layouts.
    Therefore,
    Is is possible to use creative cloud as a shared volume for collaboration between Incopy & Indesign?
    If this needs any further clarification I'll gladly write a more detailed question — lastly, if this is not possible might you suggest an alternative?  Please assume that we go to school together but we work offsite also.

    You will not be able to use the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files for collaboration in this way. But you can share individual files in this way.
    When folder sharing is available this will be possible.
