can't install premiere pro due to low storage?

[MathewLM]

Hey I dont have enough storage right now for it to install on my base storage, so I set it to my hard drive to download there and its still saying not enough space like it ignored the change. The hard drive has 1.76TB free.

The program manager and some common elements must go on the boot drive... move enough data files to your 2nd drive to have space on your boot drive... you may not install to a removeable drive

you need space on your c drive, even if you properly indicated another permissible drive for the install location.

ie, you generally need 1 to 5 gb free space on your c drive and another ~10 gb on the (non-root of an internal) install drive.

so, how much free space is on your c drive?

and what's the install location?

Hey thanks for telling me, I am currently cleaning out my c drive and moving things to the other its already at 38% now. Wish it said that beforehand but glad you and Peru Bob said something.

no problem.  let us know how it goes.

remember it's the same requirements on the c drive for each app and for the cc desktop app, so they add up pretty quickly.

If you don't have enough room on your system drive for temp and system files, even if you install it, you may have performance issues.
