Install app on different drive

I have altered my preferences so apps install on my e drive in the program folder. Every time I try to install illustrator it tells me there is insufficient room on my c drive. Why is it not following my preferences?

That is to be expected. It's eitehr all or nothing. You cannot install different apps on different drives. You need to wipe and start from scratch.

Trying to install Creative Suite 5.5 can't find install.app on "root drive" of the disc?

trying to install CS 5.5 can't find install.app on "root drive" of DVD. When I double click on icon it just shows all the languages and documentation, but nothing else - on a mac.

What Mac? What version of OSX? You need to be more specific. Also make sure you actually have a Mac DVD...

How do I have the creative cloud installer and apps install on a different drive other than my main C drive?

I have been having trouble figuring out how I can put the installer and adobe apps on another drive other than my C drive. Please Help me. My C drive is getting too full.

The CC app itself will always install on the system root drive as will several shared components. Once the CC app has been installed, you can choose a different install location for the main programs in the app's settings.

Install Edge on different drive

I have a small SSD for my C: (OS) drive, so I install all of my software on my D: drive. In
Creative Cloud -> Preferences -> Apps I have the install location set as: D:\Program Files\Adobe CS
It works for most of the apps, but the Edge apps still install in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe. Tried reinstalling them but no go.
Suggestions?

Looking in the forum index http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa I do not find an Adobe program named Brackets, so that program would seem to have nothing to do with Adobe... http://brackets.io/ is an open source program, not controlled by Adobe
I can't provide a "good" answer... I can only tell you what I have read in many forums... Adobe has locations "hard wired" into some (many?) programs
You may think the program does not "need" to be installed on the C drive... it seems clear that the Adobe software engineers think differently

How to install Apps to different HD

Hello! I have 2 HDs that I have for my Mac. I have a 128GB SSD and a 2TB HDD. I am wanting to keep the SSD manily just for OS operiations and put apps and content on the other HD. I am manily wanting to know how to install apps to the second HD. Am I able to do this and how so? And also can I create a short cut icon to the dock? Thanks!

1. Just drag them there. This shouldn't be done with those included with the OS.
2. Drag the folder you want to make a shortcut of to the right of the Dock's divider line.

How can I install different apps on different drives?

I've got a SSD as my boot drive so I want to put my most commonly used apps there (eg Photoshop, InDesign...), and the less frequently used apps (Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Media Encoder...) on a second drive. I installed some on my boot drive, but when I try a second install I'm not able to choose an install destination.
Is there anyway to install some of the apps on a second drive?
Thanks.

Well, the installer lets you choose the default install space so it's not like it's tied to /Applications/ - or are you saying that's going to run into problems?
Right now 160GB SSDs are a little expensive, so I'm stuck with 80GB for the time being.
For now I've downloaded the trials of DW and FW. They let me install them in a different location. If only Acrobat was available as a trial.

CS4 apps on different drives

When I got CS4, I installed several apps on an external drive. Works fine.
I now want to install other parts of the suite on another (internal) drive, but Setup shows the original install location only. I see no way to choose a different location.
Am I missing something obvious, or do all suite apps have to be on the same drive?
Any help appreciated.

Mik,
The ONLY place to properly install the Creative Suite is in the Applications folder -- the default location -- on your startup drive. Changing installation locations, changing file or folder names, moving files or folders will likely lead to grief, if not in day-to-day use, when it comes to updates or uninstalling.

Installing to a different drive than C

All my CC apps are installed under C:\Program Files. When I installed them, I don't remember having the option of installing them someplace other than C: drive. Right now my C: drive is getting very full. How can I uninstall my CC apps from the C: drive and re-install them on a separate internal drive where I have more room?
Robert

I changed the default location, after which cc immediately showed CC is not installed (even though it was obviously still there on the C: drive.
then I used add remove programs to uninstall CC (and CC2014 as it happens)
then I rebooted my PC
then I asked CC to install CC(2014)
it put it on C:
Is there a bug outstanding for this?
Is it likely to get fixed soon? my C: drive is dangrously full.
I suppose I could throw all my toys out of the pram, install windows to D: and then let dumb adobe applications use C, but this would be a long and tedious process, which may well fail for other reasons along the way. (I haven't installed windows on other than C: since windows 2000, and that was not fun either)

Install app from different account?

I have two Apple ID's, one for work, one for home. I accidentally installed XCode from the home ID instead of my work ID. I'd like to delete it and install it from the work ID, since that's the one I'm logged into most of the time, and since it pertains to work, not home.
So, I deleted the XCode app (4.4.x), logged out of the home ID, logged into the work ID. However, XCode still says "Update" on the Mac App Store page instead of "Install".
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

The MAS can see versions of the apps on mounted partitions and drives. Do you have a backup, perhaps Time Machine, which has the app? If so, unmount the partition or drive with the old app and try again.

How do I install to a different drive than C drive? I could not find the option for where to install it.

I use a solid state to boot faster but it is so small that windows needs most of it. How do I install to the drive that I keep my programs on? Where is the option to choose the install location?
Thanks
Chris

Not a direct answer to your question, but... As a "think outside the box" possibility, Crucial MX100 512GB drives are now only about 200 bucks. Check Amazon or Newegg.
Having your programs on the SSD too means they load much faster.

Re-install Apps on Different Device

Hi,
I'm trying to recover my apps after my Blackberry Curve 9320 died a week after I got it. I found instructions by searching the site, under the title above, but they aren't working for me. It says to go to the app world homepage on your phone, click the menu key, and select 'Log In', then log in with paypal password, then a list of your apps will appear. When I press the menu key, there is no 'log in' option. Help appreciated!

Go into AppWorld and go to MyWorld. It should ask for your BBID if you haven't entered it already. Once it's logged in as you then hit alt + R S T. AppWorld should close and then you can go back into My World.

Install Creative Cloud to a different drive

Hi, I am trying to install creative cloud to my D Drive Rather than my SSD drive but I can't find the option to change the install location. I am running Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks

I had the same problem and finally solved it.
It is "funny" that CC doesn't ask you where to install apps. Or better to say, it asks you but doesn't care. In Creative Cloud desktop app/Preferences there is option to choose where you want apps to be installed, but they are still installed in C:/Program Files/....
How to install apps on secondary drive in just 3 steps:
1. Go to page Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools and download all apps that you will need.
2. Once downloaded, install it. During installation you will be asked where you want app to be installed (just like in any other "normal" installation)
3. Be happy
Hope I helped

Install on different drive?

I'm trying to pare down my boot drive (40 gig Intel SSD), but acrobat installs on c: drive by default. Is there any way to install on a different drive?

You can change the destination folder for Adobe Reader as well, as long as you use the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/:

Having issues installing apps

I just got the creative cloud for school. I installed the app manager which installed onto my C drive which is very full. So I went to the settings for the app installation and switched it to my other drive. I made sure it saved. Didn't install apps to that drive. Restarted the program, nothing. Restarted computer, again nothing. I uninstalled and re-installed. I don't want it on my C drive in the first place. I just want my apps to install onto my other drive so I can actually install it. Help would be greatly appreciated.

No I haven't changed my source code. I haven't had a chance too. After installing the Configuration Utility that Collin said to try, it seemed like it fixed the issue. Very weird...
I'm not sure if it was even the Configuration Utility that did the trick. Could of been but who knows....
Also... I'm not sure if this is even possible with Apple in the way they do things... but they were having huge issues (I was reading - with iTunes) and I feel like they worked on something in the pass 72 hours. I dunno.
Who knows what it could of been for me but If I come up with anything I will sure let you know.
Quick Question:
I just want to make sure. You Installed the new Beta 3 iTunes 10.5 correct? I guessing you do becuase I don't think you can even use iTunes and the device together if you don't have the new iTunes Beta 3.
I also tried making a new doucment and tested that out. No issues. Worked fine syncing (installing) If your source code (fla file) isnt important or you want to send me over a sample of something to try thats not working for you - I will be happy to test it out for you on my Windows machine.
Let me know

CS5 install on case-sensitive file system - can't choose different drive (Mac OS)

I just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.
I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.
So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
I called the support number, and the poor fellow on the other end suggested I re-download the demo, and if the new download fails call Apple support to report my 'drive error'.
I'm hoping to avoid an entire backup-reformat-restore and lose CLI compatibility just to try some demo software.

That is part of why I would prefer case sensitive by default.   I know some server packages do the folding for you, same as some web servers do not differentiate between 'htm' and 'html' when people type in requests, but most of the time the backend server is going to be case sensitive and it is not safe to assume (or hope) that the service will fix things. Compensating for mistakes is fine, but allowing such silent corruption is not a terribly laudable things and it encourage people be careless.
Every once in a while I do encounter someone submitting some work where their configuration values and file names do not match, and 'well my laptop silently fixes it for me since it does not care' is a poor excuse. And if I sent broken filenames upstream or even worse commit them to be used on a server, that is a pretty significant professional failure.
Back to Adobe specifically, I have been trying the suggestion on poster mentioned in where one installs the Adobe applications to a case insensitive drive then copy over the installed files. This does not quite work out of the box, but for reasons I would be hard pressed to believe are Apple's fault.
For instance the first error I encounter is the inability of Bridge to load:
"@executable_path/../Frameworks/WRServices.framework/Versions/A/WRServices"
When I go look inside the app directories I can see that in Bridge the file has been named 'awrservices', but in Illustrator it is correctly named AWRServices.   So it looks more like a problem in whatever version control they are using. The only way I can picture (which my adminitialy limited knowledge of what I am sure is a large and complex project with all sorts of legacy issues) that the installer toolchain factors in as a problem is if they have mismatches in their own scripts/packaging and have been depending on HFS's bad behavior to hide the problem. I can understand not wanting to invest the time to pay down the technical debt on such an issue, but having such errors in your configuration causes long term headaches.
And I say this as someone who worked on just such a project, moving a software suite that had legacy code stretching back longer than Adobe has existed as a company. This conversion included moving from a case insenstive filesystem to a case sensitive one and yeah, there were lots of problems that the old FAT32 system hid from us, but it really paid off over the long run to fix them rather than try to twist the code to compensate.
Having said that, if the problem is really that they do not want to go update their filenames (in version control or config files), then you can always add folding to your loaders. I have had to do that a few times due to upstream people developing on case insensitive systems and sending data files with incorrect file names. This is an old class of problem, and while I can empathize with the struggles project managers have trying to get approval for paying down technical debt, the problem never gets better on its own and usually gets worse.
Which is why I responded with so much grump to the 'I never needed it' argument since that is exactly the type of customer comment that marketing tends to point to in order to push such things off the schedule. This is the type of thing where the customer does not really know what they want because they are already accustomed to broken behavior and most of the problems are hidden from their immediate view. It is easy to cover up the limitations since modern UI (and their search capabilities) can handle this.
It is not just arcane developers stuff, and it is the same transition that people have made with things like spaces, quotes, and parentheses, where years ago users believed they had no need for them since they were not using them, but they were only not using them because they did not work.   Today try to tell a modern user they can not put (, ", ) or even ' ' in their filenames and they would rightly question why this piece of obvious functionality is not working since today they are used to it working and no longer automatically compensate for it.
I also find it ironic that by default OSX hides a number of file extensions, so from the user's perspective you can have multiple files with the exact same name displayed to them, so you can get display issues where 'foo' is the same as 'foO' if both have .txt, but 'foo' and 'foO' are not the same if one has .txt while the other is .pdf. Add to this confusion cases like 'foo.txt' and 'foo.pdf" both being shortened to 'foo'.
