You need ample free space on your primary drive so that your operating system can download and unpack files prior to installation. That's how computers work.

The program manager and 'parts' of programs are installed to the boot drive

Install on non-boot drive (with a picture) https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install-discussions/creative-cloud-installation/td-p/12455173

During the download and install process temporary files are created on the boot drive... just how much space do you have on your boot [C] drive?
