[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

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

        @Jeff A Wright,

        First I was installing Adobe XD CC Beta, I did not work for Drive E:\ the CCManager keep installing on C:\

        I now have uninstalled all the Adobe Products via CCManager, sorry I mean the "Creative Cloud desktop app".

        After the uninstall finished, I am reinstalling PS, AI, which the "Creative Cloud desktop app" installs on the other Drive E:\.

        ... Currently installing In-design on E:\ ...

        Look's like it is working for now.

        Thanks for the assistance

        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.
