change path of installation

[Harmonious_experience5C33]

Hey,

im just wondering wether its possible to change path of installation of lightroom classic? Running Lightroom_Classic_Set-Up.exe starts the process of installation right away, no chances to change the path. How come?

Thje path is controlled by the Creative Cloud Desktop App. It is set in the preferences of that program, CC DTA.

But it has to be changed, SET, before you install any actual programs. So if you already have some other Adobe program installed you have to uninstall it/them and then make the Install Location change and then Reinstall.

Thank you for fast replay. But i dont understand. This means i have to install CC Desktop App first to change path of installation of any further installation? Thats strange for me. Cause i just want to use LR and nothing else. Whatever. I will see wether this works. And i hope that i can choose where to install CC Desktop App.

Yes that is Completely Correct. Install the CC DTA First, Change the Program Install Path then install the program you have a subscription for or the ones ou want to Trial.

No other way around it.

Also not sure where you got the Base Program installer as those are not longer available. Only way to instal Adobe software now is from the CC DTA.

Ive got it here:

https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop
So now installing CC DTA (what does DTA mean). And again im surprises, that i cannot change path of installation of that program. Why? I mean i can handle it, but it is strange anyway. What if users just have a small system disc? Furthermore i wonder, how should i know, that i have to install CC DTA first? Where is that written? Im able to help myself, but what should users do who are not able or who dont want to call for help in this forum? Im confused.

Whatever, thanks Mr Shoot for your support!
