Hi before I mention anything i orginally wanted to make aware of my issue but the thread got closed a little while ago.

Creative Cloud - BUG Changing Installation Directory for Apps

I followed gokmens detailed guide on how to install in a custom directory rebooted my PC twice formated the SD card to NTFS instead of exFAT and still can't get past 7% installing Photoshop. With the Tablet (a Teclast X80 Pro E3E6) I almost match the minimum requirements in order to run Photoshop CC and other Adobe software so I wanted to give it a shot. As this tablet is supposed to be used as Surface replacement for my school.

Don't really know what to do maybe someone can help out. Before I have to install Gimp / Inkscape / Scribus on it.

Here are my System specifications

  • Windows 10 64-bit version 1803 April Update (Redstone 4)
  • Intel Atom x5-Z8300  @ 1.44 GHz boosting up to 1.84 GHz.
  • Intel HD Graphics (Braswell GT1)
  • Supports OpenGL 4.4
  • 2GB RAM which is shared accross the system.
  • The SD card is a Samsung EVO Plus Micro SDXC 128 GB card

The screen can run in 1920x1200 but for performance purposes runs in only 1280x800 which is the recommended requirement given for Photoshop CC.

Even if you got it to install, I doubt Photoshop would run very well on that system with them specs, here's the bare minimum specs for PS

you can't install on removable drives.

Why any other installer works fine and their not PortableInstallers!?

Some components will still be installed on the system root.

from Mylenium

I can understand that but how many components do need to be installed on my root drive making it unable to install the whole entire application on a seperate drive after only starting the process of installing Photoshop after 7%.
