Because of limited disk space on my C drive, I need to move an installed application form the C drive to the D drive.  How do I accomplish this?

Hi Patrick692, its not a recommended way.

You need to uninstall and then re-install to a different drive.

Note--Some common/shared components will still be installed on C: drive regardless of the drive you choose.

Who has a disk smaller than 80 GB (HDD) or 64 GB (SSD) for OS & programs nowadays? No way you would need more than 50-60 GB for OS & programs even with multiple versions of the Master Collection, unless you have collected a huge amount of garbage, in which case it makes sense to clean up. That makes more sense than de-activating, uninstalling and re-installing on a different drive.
