I need to install Lightroom on my D:\ drive

I changed the preferences in the Creative Cloud desktop from default to:  D:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe.

I first installed Photoshop CC and that installed perfectly in folder D:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC.  Next I clicked the button install Lightroom and it was promptly installed in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.2.  I am down to 3.6 GB on my C:\ drive and need this to be installed on D:\ drive.

    Gary I am sorry but Photoshop Lightroom does not currently support installing to a custom location.  You can find more information on this topic in the Lightroom and Creative Cloud FAQ at http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-creative-cloud-faq.html#id_95665.

    I'm having the same problem now. My D drive is huge, I don't see why we shouldn't be able to store there if we want to.

      I agree. it's rediculous that they can't figure out how to fix this with lightroom but Photoshop can be installed on another drive. Doesn't make sense and it shows it's not a priority for them.

      Thanks, your answer was helpful. A couple of years ago, I bought, to me, a big gaming PC that has a world of room on the d:\ drive, but only 60 or so GB on the solid state hard drive.  Always a struggle to keep the garbage in control on that drive.  I have managed to find other stuff to move, but please try to get LR so it can be installed in a custom location.

      Thanks
