I've been unable to install Photoshop as I constantly get this error whenever I try, despite my changing the installation directory to a drive with 133GB of free space. Does anyone know how to fix this?

See Photoshop system requirements Even if you try to install on a 2nd drive, your primary hard disk must have sufficient resources to install software. This might be a good time to move data and work files to an external drive and uninstall all non-essential software to free up space on the primary disk.

The requirements you link to above only say how much free disk space is required. It doesn't say that the free space MUST be on the boot drive! On top of that, the error message you get when install fails is wrong as it says "...only '1278648320' bytes are available on the installation directory" when the installation directory (drive) has 250GB free.
