Question

Installing Adobe programs on D drive with a Creative Cloud for Enterprise subscription

Thank you. This was very useful. 

However, there was one unexpected problem, and I would like to know if there is a way around it. I first installed Adobe CC on the C drive, as it must be done. Then, I installed Lightroom on the D drive (like I wanted it to).

However, the following program I installed — Dreamweaver — got installed on the C drive! IS this because DW is an older program that cannot be run on a different drive? Is there a way to move it to the D drive?

Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

JC.

I first installed Adobe CC on the C drive (as there is no way around it). Next, in the Preferences > Apps > Install Location, I indicated that I wanted to install all Apps in D:\Program Files. Following that, I installed Lightroom on the D drive without issues. 

 

However, the following program I installed — Dreamweaver — got installed on the C drive! Is this because DW is an older program that cannot be run on a different drive? Is there a way to move it to the D drive?

 

Thank you for your attention and consideration of this matter.

JC, my apologies, since you responded to two separate older public discussions, which have now been merged, you are not showing up properly, but instead the author who originally posted..

 

The solutions provided by Kglad are accurate, JC, but they will not be effective for a Creative Cloud for Team or Enterprise subscription. For your next steps, please show this discussion to someone locally who can help you. Your school's Creative Cloud plan administrator can unblock you from any installation and download errors you are encountering, JC.

Thank you, Jeffrey_A_Wright!

 

Since you mentioned, "solutions provided by Kglad are accurate," do you suggest that I follow their directions, which were as follows:

 

  1. Change the install preferences in Adobe CC to C:\Program Files.
  2. Uninstall DW
  3. Change the install preferences in Adobe CC to D:\Program Files
  4. Install DW

 

By the way, my school's school's Creative Cloud plan administrator does not block or unblock anything for installations on my computer at home.

 

Regards,

what's the install location shown in the cc desktop app preferences?  eg, copy and paste a screenshot showing that preference.
