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)

  • 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

    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.

  • Install SAP IdM MSSQL on different drive than "C:"

    We are in the process of building our IDM systems and want to install the MSSQL DB on a different drive than C:.  Has anyone else done this and what changes to the _SqlAuth.vbs & SQL4SAP.vbs (which _SqlAuth.vbs called during installation) are required to facilitate this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not sure what the problem here is.
    The MMC files can be installed whereever you want.
    Where the DB files are located is controlled by SQL Server.
    If you already have the DB on C:\
    Just detach, move and attach again.
    That should do the trick.

  • Needs Ability to Configure AutoSave To Different Drive than Scratch

    If you edit a large document with limited memory, and are exercising the Photoshop scratch file, a coincidental auto-save can really slow things down because the drive then begins to thrash.
    It would be great if the AutoSave could be configured to go to a separate drive than that selected for the Scratch file.
    I mentioned this on a recent Connect session, and I'm putting it here as well.  I believe it's something Adobe needs to consider by CS6 release time.
    On a system with a sufficient number of separate drives at the point where scratch file activity picks up this could make a HUGE difference - between Photoshop usability and UNUSABILITY.
    Possible workaround:
    Because Adobe has had the good foresight to use a subfolder, it's possible that the auto-save folder could be redirected to another drive through a file system link.  I'll be checking into whether this helps the throughput, as I'm not sure how much the link itself being on the same drive as the scratch files could be a bottleneck.

    I have an SSD dedicated for use as a scratch drive. So far I haven't noticed a performance hit with background save active, but I've yet to get into really intensive processing with large images.
    Since there are so many different drive and drive bus limitations, it's hard to say that Photoshop would be less bogged down using different drives for scratch and auto save. You may find a dedicated  SSD is a real boon to performance as I have.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Installed programs have different permissions than package

    I am using testing, so I installed the new kernel and nvidia driver today.  The directories in the kernel and nvidia packages are all 755.  However, when the package was installed and the new directories were created, the permissions were 2755.  This isn't a problem, but something is happening to cause the kernel to be installed with different folder permissions than are in the package.
    The kernel is the only package I am having this issue with.
    Edit:
    This only happened on one of my computers, and if I try to correct the permissions with chmod, nothing happens and the permissions remain the same...

    This happens to me on my workstation. Every PKG I install have that permission warning message, but my stuff still works... don't really care. Perhaps the dev can look into it when they have time.

  • Installing office 365 Home edition on a different hard drive than windows (C:\)

    Hi everyone.
    I recently got an invite from a familymember to install office 365, which is great.
    What's not so great is that it is not possible to customize the installation and install office on a different drive than windows.
    - I am using Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I've done some searching on Google and have heard about a method called click-2-run, which is basically downloading files required to a directory of choice and installing these files. However I need to generate two different xml files to use this method.
    I'm know how the xml files are run together with the setup.exe file, but have very limited information about how the syntax in the xml files work.
    So my question is: How do I install Office 365 on a different partition than my C-drive?
    I have an E-drive with loads of space in which I've made a folder called "Microsoft Office 2015" and placed the essential click-2-run files.
    - download.xml
    - configuration.xml
    - setup.exe
    What should these files contain for me to download and install Office 365 on my E-drive?
    Best regards,

  • How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

    Hello!,
    I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Marcus Bale

    Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    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.

  • 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/:

  • Recording to a different drive

    Hello,
    I've been recording for over a year on my default hard drive - the one Logic is installed on. I just installed an additional new hard drive. Since Logic records projects to the Logic folder, I created one on my new hard drive and also created an Alias of it to put in the default drive. The new projects are recorded to the new drive as planned. Now I'm finding a latency issue while tracking. To remedy it for now I'm turning on Low Latency mode. This works but I would rather not use it (maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this is fine).
    I still have an empty Logic folder on the default drive and when I Save As to it I get no latency issue. It only happens when recording to a different drive than Logic is installed on.
    I would please love some advise so I don't twist my system into a knot. I have some clients coming in next week and I would like to be on solid ground again - but also use my new drive.
    I'm hoping NOT to hear that the only solution is to install Logic on the new drive.
    Matt

    So, your additional HD is in your Mac Pro, yes?
    What sort of drive is it (spin speed etc). It's not a 'green' drive is it? You don't need to alias a project folder back to your boot drive. I have 4 7400 speed (not 'Green') in my Mac Pro and have no issue.
    Drive 1: System and Apps (inc Logic, obviously)
    Drive 2: Logic Projects
    Drive 3: Samples for EXS etc
    Drive 4: Backup
    You wouldn't want to install Logic on your new drive because you'd have to put a whole system on that drive and boot from it which would defet the object of having a second drive.

  • BSOD experience with CLEAN INSTALL on new hard drive...next step?

    Much has been written about the BSOD experiences of those upgrading to Leopard and the conflict with third party software enhancements already on their Tiger system. And apparently those fixes are working for some. I may be in the minority, but I own a Mac Pro and have a boot drive for Tiger and a second boot drive, brand new and zeroed out, on which I installed Leopard.
    When I go to start Leopard, I get either the BSOD or it will go one step further, bring me to the Leopard desktop, then hang...with a movable mouse but no functionality. In my case, since I am doing a fresh install with no Tiger software on the new hard drive, what could be causing the conflict? Has anyone else out there experienced my specific problem? And have their been any suggestions posted on a fix for this situation.
    Obviously the CLEAN INSTALL experience of Leopard is not immune from the installation BSOD problems of the TIGER UPGRADERS.
    I would love to hear from others experiencing these BSOD issues with their CLEAN INSTALLS and any possible workarounds.
    Many thanks,
    John

    I think the issue is installing 10.5 on a different drive than the boot drive. I would recommend swapping the drives, making the 10.5 the physical boot drive and Tiger the secondary.
    I have done two clean installs on two different machines with no issue. A 3rd machine was upgraded with no issues as well.
    Asking other users for sob stories helps no one. Asking for resolution however, is key.

  • I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive.

    I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive as my C drive is much smaller than my storage drive. 

    Still, you can install the Reader folder on any drive you want using the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Use the Change Destination Folder button at the bottom of the install panel.

  • How can i install audio content on a different drive

    i did install logic studio 8 without all the jam pack cause i was short on drive space and i am wondering how i can install the rest of the dvd's on a different drive....i am using a macbook with 60 gig HD so i didnt have any other choice than unchecking all the jam pack if i wanted to install the appz
    TIA !!
    Gprok

    In the installer, next to each jamppack is a drill-down arrow - open that and you can choose where to install the loop content.
    The instrument content has to go to your Garageband Instruments directory, but you can move the sample content (exception: the "Hybrid Synthesizers" sample folder) to your external drive afterwords, as long as you leave the instrument and settings files where they are.
