How can I customize the installation location for Adobe Creative Cloud?

Question

The App Manager does not let me specify any installation options for the apps. It installs them on C: on a windows system.

This is a HUGE design error in the era of SSD's. The Apps are very large, space on SSD's is tight. If I just manually download an Adobe app, as I have many times, I can select the target directory for installation. Unless I can do this with Cloud apps, I'm not going to remain a customer.

...one response above suggests I may be able to get around this, but I don't know - perhaps someone else does. In an earlier post here, Jeff Wright says: "If you are having problems installing the applications from the Adobe Application Manager please try downloading and installing the trial. "

Is this a solution?

Branching this to a separate discussion.

You can customize the installation within the Adobe Application Manager. If you go to the preferences option in the top left hand corner under Preferences. You can then adjust the install location.

I would recommend also reviewing Creative Cloud | Known issues - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-known-issues.html. In addition this topic has also been discussed at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4589809#4589809.
