You are now chatting with 'Bhagawan'

Bhagawan: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.

Bhagawan: Hi Steve

Steve: It appears CC installs on my system drive without asking me. The way I manage my system - this is not acceptable. So, how do I install on the drive I install all my other apps?

Bhagawan: I understand that you want to install Creative Cloud desktop app. Am I correct?

Steve: On a particular drive - not my system drive.

Steve: CC, Photoshop, etc.

Bhagawan: I will be glad to check and help you with this issue.

Bhagawan: Steve, creative cloud desktop app can be install only on C drive, but other apps you select for other drive.

Steve: My C: drive is dedicated to my OS only.

Steve: It is a special drive that will not work for very long if software companies put their programs on it till it fills up and then everything stops.

Steve: Didn't Adobe think of this?

Steve: I have one computer that only has a few MBs left of C:. What do I do on that computer?

Steve: "left on C:"

Bhagawan: Give me a minute.

Bhagawan: Thank you.

Bhagawan: Steve, I'm really sorry, creative cloud desktop app will be installed on C Drive, since the operating system is installed, but other Creative Cloud apps can be installed other Drive and depends on file size.

    I had the same problem and finally solved it.

    It is "funny" that CC doesn't ask you where to install apps. Or better to say, it asks you but doesn't care. In Creative Cloud desktop app/Preferences there is option to choose where you want apps to be installed, but they are still installed in C:/Program Files/....

    How to install apps on secondary drive in just 3 steps:

    1. Go to page Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools and download all apps that you will need.

    2. Once downloaded, install it. During installation you will be asked where you want app to be installed (just like in any other "normal" installation)

    3. Be happy

    Hope I helped
