    Eevn if you install it on a different drive much stuff needs to be on the system drive. How many free space has your C drive?

    That's right. A large part of the installation goes to your user account, which has to be on the C drive no matter where the program files are. This is nothing special for Photoshop, just how Windows (and MacOS) organizes things.

    So the message probably means exactly what it says.

    It also means you're so low on space that you will soon have much bigger problems. Consider this an early warning.

    On Windows you can move Some User Files off C: or add disk in front of C:  But its a pain in the butt to manage all areas this way.  I have made some modification to some of Windows default libraries locations for my user ID to keep things from being written to C: For example my documents goes to my E:\My File\Documents by default.  C:\Users\myuserid is down the list some I try to keep Libraries files off C: for the most part. I changed Downloads location to e:\
