[Locked] How to Install Photoshop CC on a Drive Other than C:

I have purchase and installed Photoshop CC on one of my computers. I'm now ready to install it on the second one. But this Win 7 PC is running short of space on its C: drive. I want to install the files onto its 😧 drive. But the installer does not allow me the choice to do that.

Is there a way to do it?

Thank you.

To change the default location of your application if you are downloading through Adobe creative cloud desktop application.

Step 1: Click on the three dots near your profile pic icon

Step 2: Look for option Preferences. Click on it

Step 3: You will get two tab : General and Creative Cloud > Click on tab of Creative Cloud

Step 4: In creative cloud tab you will find 4 sub tabs of it : Apps, files , fonts and Behance > Look inside Apps tab

Step 5: In Apps tab you will see an option of Install location. From where we can change the default location of Adobe Applications

The installation process seems to have changed. Now it installs directly on the primary drive without letting the user change.

Bobf66666740 can you post a screen shot of the install location you have set within the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application?  Details on how to post a screen shot can be found at FAQ: How do I capture and post a screen shot or video?​.

Also what Creative Cloud applications are you attempting to install?  Can you confirm that you are beginning the installation process through the Creative Cloud desktop app?  Details regarding the process can be found at Learn how to download your Adobe Creative Cloud apps​.

You can configure the installation destination within the Creative Cloud applications preferences.  Please be aware that there will still be shared resources stored to your primary drive.  In addition during the install process temporary files will also be created on your primary drive.

I thought doing what you suggested would be easy. But I cannot find the page where I set the preferences on the CC page after I log in. I guess I am going to need more details.
