I have installed CC to my iMac computer.  I want to install CC on an external hard drive.  When I try to change the default location i get the message: cannot install to a root path.

This discussion is about Mac (which I don't have) but a warning for anyone doing this on Windows

 

When you plug a USB drive in Windows assigns a drive letter... lets say D

 

If you unplug that drive and then plug another drive in it may become D - so if you plug your program drive back in it becomes E

 

That drive letter change will cause the program entries in the Windows Registry file to be wrong... and the programs may not work

 

If you are going to install to an external drive on Windows you should NEVER unplug that drive

    Can the Lightroom & Photoshop excluding the creative cloud be installed on an external drive?
