Change the installation location of many programs?
I just got an SSD (60 GB) to use as my drive master boot and after doing some research, it became clear that changing the progamfilesdir /(x86) registry entries can cause problems with some programs and Windows update.
Even if you custom install on a drive to reactivate, a lot of files will be written on the disc of the victory.

No option to change the installation location of the program
Hello
I have problems with my laptop running Vista Basic.
Whenever I try to install a new program, it automatically starts the installation on drive C. There is no opportunity to change the installation location. It must now to the point where drive C is almost full yet D drive is almost empty.
Is it possible I can get Vista to start giving me the option to choose where I would like the installation to occur or may simply change the default location? I don't have a problem with the deletion of all programs that are running on my laptop that I have all the disks necessary to reinstall, I just can't continue as things are.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you get a choice of the place where the software is the responsibility of the installer, no windows. I would say it's time to start looking in an upgrade of the hard drive if you are running this short space.

Impossible to reinstall LR5 after removing to change the installation location
After update of creative cloud, location instalation restored by default. I had already installed LightRoom5 to the default location. I removed the LR5 using programs and features. Restarting the machine. CCApp was told that Lightroom5 is always installed. Impossible to reinstall in the correct location as LTCC think program is installed
Issue seems to be caused by uninstalling or LR5 not done via the request manager. Uninstallation of Photoshop CC has been processed by Application Manager. Reinstalling Photoshop CC completed at the new location with no problems.

Change the installation location of automatic update
Hello
First of all thanks for reading the post.
The problem that I am facing is that after that put in automatic day is over, they are installed to the C:\ drive but in drive F:\ which is empty and must be used for Linux.
The fact is that before I formatted my PC, updates have been installed to drive F:\ only. I don't want no other than the C:\ drive for Windows installations. Help, please.
Config. : Windows XP Pro SP2
Kind regards

By default, the installer will download to
%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download<=this>=this>
(e.g. C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download)
Over time, the files in this folder will be 'age' & should be deleted automatically. Removal of the contents of this folder manually has no untoward effect (other than the fact that an installer will be downloaded again if you need to reinstall the update for some reason any).
Now, you download SP3 and all post-SP3 installed updates as soon as POSSIBLE. After you have done so, you can see this discussion: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33827

Photoshop is installed on your C partition and how installing it on another partition now!
Heinonen Petri dish that you can customize the installation location in the preferences for the desktop creative cloud application. Please be aware that the creative Cloud desktop application and many still shared components must be installed on the primary disk that contains the operating system.
For more details on how to customize the installation location please see CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications.

I created the Package CC "exsample" series of license name and disabled the Office CC Implementation Committee and selected the option "specify directory for deployment" or 'Directory to specify' in the Advanced dialog configrations.
I started to deploy in the victory of the client PC with command line like below,
msiexec /i exsample.msi TARGETDIR = D:\test
or
msiexec /i INSTALLDIR = D:\test exsample.msi
Installation was completed though, apps had been installed in the defalt directory "C:\Program files".
In CC helps Packer said as the folliwings on the location of the Installation,
"The Application Manager offers you the following options for the deployment location:
Deploy in the default directory of the application: the player is by default the system unit; the default path is \Program Files in Windows/applications under Mac OS.
Specify the directory for the deployment: allows users to end to specify the installation path when the package is deployed. On Mac OS, users are invited on the user interface, while on Windows, it's a command-line only option.
' Specify the directory: enter the path to the location to a specific installation location.
Is - this explanation is wrong?
How can I change the installation directory in windows PC where to deploy the package to the series of licenses?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My friend told me that the correct command is as below,
MsiExec.exe /i example.msi ADOBEINSTALLDIR = "D:\test\" / quiet
It worked well!

Creating cloud - BUG change the installation directory for applications
I searched and could not find this similar post here
Who stated the issue I am experiencing. In the program office cloud creative preferences, I changed the D drive installation directory because I have my main hard drive partitioned and programs would take too much space on C. Whatever the change in preferences, applications were still installing on my C drive. I tried to restart and reinstall and nothing seemed to work.
Finally, I decided to reassign my D partition to C, I must still complete this because I'm waiting for all the data on D to be transferred to an external drive, so I can recombine it in C without losing any data (I don't know if this is necessary, I have not recombined partitions in the front operating system (, but just to be sure)
IN ANY CASE
As I am awaiting transfer (more 120gbs takes a while) I changed the installation directory in the preferences of creative cloud to C and went ahead and installed the program I wanted to before all this. Guess what? It is installed on my D drive!
This isn't a serious bug for me, just incredibly boring and causing a lot of extra work on my part just to install the program I wanted to. However for someone who requires a different install directory to and cannot reorganize their computer to take account of this bug, I could see that she is more serious. If anyone else has had this problem and found a solution? Thank you.
Adobe PS rock you, I hope that your other programs CC feel not hurried to immediate as does your Installer
Thanks for the update Julie. It is information that you have been able to install applications for the location on the D: drive. Shared resources and temporary installation files will continue to be on the C: drive. Please maintain enough disk space on your drive to allow installation of the necessary updates. In general, I'd recommend at least having double the amount of free space on your system drive, to the amount of physical RAM, you have installed on the computer.
You can find the system requirements for Adobe applications, and an indication of the disk space required for installation, system required. Creative cloud.

I would like to change the installation disc; Adobe chooses always the C: drive instead of gave me a chance to change that...
C: is full and I want to install on my hard drive D:
Someone has an idea or a suggestion if it is possible to do?
Adobe says on its site of installation routine always chooses the "normal"... application disc
THX in advance
Enforcement CC itself will always install main programs on the root of the system drive, just like some shared components. Having at least some space available on this drive is mandatory and you cannot change this behavior. You can change the installation path of the actual programs once you have these prerequisites in place.
