Question

Could I install Adobe programs on my external hard drive?

Hi, I'd just like to ask if I can install programs like Photoshop on my external hard drive since my internal hard drive hasn't got enough space. I've looked around and apparently Premier Elements can be installed on an external hard drive but CS4 can't.

I'm aware that I can't use the programs if my external hard drive isn't plugged in.

It may work but be aware that it will still be installing components on the drive which contains your operating system as well.  Which operating system are you using btw?

It should work ok then.  If you do run into problems though we would recommend installing the software on the drive which contains your OS.
