I got a new PC Clone system and for several reasons the hard disk where I have the Windows XP is not the C:\.
When I try to install FlashPlayer version 10 always try to install it on the C:\ (that is a card reader) and find there is no space and then stop the installation.
I've installed a lot of other programs included Shockwave without problems, but it seems that FlashPlayer installation program for Firefox, doesn't identify where is the Windows systems installed and always try to install in the disk C:\.

Is there any way to avoid it or any previous version that use Windows XP hard disk place to install it?.

Thanks a lot.

    Hi JuankaC-
    Yep, C: is hardcoded into the program. You have to provide a C: drive, a thumbdrive will do.
    See the instructions at http://www.adobe.com/go/kb406903
    Also, in this forum, see the thread "Insufficient Diskspace to Install:Wrong" by PhaineinTerra, dated 4/28/07. Read the replies by Darren McNally (an Adobe guy).
    There's another: "Firefox installation: Insufficient disk space" by Archonion dated 2/4/09.
    And another: "Do not have sufficient space" by Riula dated 9/22/08
    Finally: http://www.techtalkz.com/tips-n-tricks/ They have a thread Titled "Workaround: Adobe Flashplayer 10 installation bug for firefox......."
    Doesn't look too bad. OR, if ya wanna wait... Adobe is working on this, you could get by with your on-board IE & Flash?
    Your choice.
