Hi,
I have CC install on C: drive.
I go to Pref>Apps>Change the install location to D: drive. CC refreshes.
I install Photoshop and it installs on C: drive NOT D: drive.
I uninstall and reinstall and it still installs on C: drive.
How do I install my programs on another drive?
Am I doing somehting wrong? I've Googled the web and found no solution.
Thanks!
OK! I figure it out!
I ran the uninstaller/repair found here - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
I did a repair. Then opened CC. Pref > Apps > Install Location > Changed to the desired drive (D drive in my case) > Uninstalled Photoshop > Reinstalled Photoshop. BAM! It installed on the correct drive. I'm guessing CC was bugged.

Thanks Axel for your reply but I'm not sure this answers my question.
To clarify. CC is install on C drive. When I change the preferences to install Photoshop on D drive it still installs on C drive. If I navigate to the D drive folder location (where photoshop should be installed) the folder is empty.

That is a problem. Even if you manage to install it on the D drive, you will have performance issues.
You need more space for temp and system files, as well as Windows updates.
It's time for a larger C drive.

This still doesn't explain why photoshop can't be install on the D drive.
I've made more room on the C drive now. 50gb free. Why cant I install photoshop on the D drive though?
