How Do You Install Adobe on Another Drive?

I looked through all the forums and everyone just says to fix the settings in the Adobe Cloud App

Apps Install Location: D Drive

Files Install Location: D Drive.

My D drive is just a split internal hard drive on my laptop. 

When I install it goes right to my C drive for apps and files.

How do i force it to install on my D drive?

    the cc desktop app must be installed on the os drive.

    the apps can be installed on any drive, but not its root:  with the CC application opened, choose the 3 dots in the upper right corner and then choose Preferences.  in the preferences panel select Creative Cloud and then look for the Install Location drop down

    CC will not upgrade (or now install) on a case sensitive file system.  My other, way more important apps REQUIRE a case sensitive file system.  Why is CC being absurd?  Here is one explanation of why case insensitivity is wrong:

    They keep me going, seeming to actually be getting somewhere, then we get cut off.  Since losing Adobe would be bad for me, I stay optimistic, despite the apparent foolhardiness.


    i don't see how you can get anything from support other than help cancelling.

     

    your best alternative is to get a computer with a case insensitive c drive.

     

    and look for that case number so you can continue (and not start over) if cut off.
