Installation Querie

Is it possible to uninstall CC and reinstall all the apps on a drive other than C?
My C drive is desperately short of space but I have a spare drive that I can install if I can move some programs to it.

Whitbywoof and Darmstrong, I am sorry but Error Code 120 indicates that there is insufficient disk space on the drive.  Even if you have another drive/partition the download and install process will still require sufficient disk space to complete the download and install process.  Also shared components will be installed on the same drive/partition that contains the operating system.

 

Please clean up space on the primary drive/partition or use a different computer to install the Adobe CC applications on.  For more information on Error 120 see https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-download-install-logs.html.

    Yes, you can install all the apps you want on any other drive of your choice.

    All you have to do is uninstall CC and then while installing it when it gives you the choice for the path of installing the program files you can choose the path of, for instance, D:user/program/files/... instead of C:program/files/...

     

    Know that this is possible with any app of your choice. But you need to know that you cannot alter the folders and their content or else your apps would not run properly.

    I hope this helps.

    I never got an option to choose an alternative drive.  Is there some other solution or a way to force the choice?

    Same here - that's why I asked. I tried it this morning and when I clicked on INSTALL it started the installation straight away without offering any options.
