[Locked] How to Install Photoshop CC on a Drive Other than C:

  • August 16, 2013

I have purchase and installed Photoshop CC on one of my computers. I'm now ready to install it on the second one. But this Win 7 PC is running short of space on its C: drive. I want to install the files onto its 😧 drive. But the installer does not allow me the choice to do that.

Is there a way to do it?

Thank you.

    To change the default location of your application if you are downloading through Adobe creative cloud desktop application.

    Step 1: Click on the three dots near your profile pic icon

    Step 2: Look for option Preferences. Click on it

    Step 3: You will get two tab : General and Creative Cloud > Click on tab of Creative Cloud

    Step 4: In creative cloud tab you will find 4 sub tabs of it : Apps, files , fonts and Behance > Look inside Apps tab

    Step 5: In Apps tab you will see an option of Install location. From where we can change the default location of Adobe Applications

      The installation process seems to have changed. Now it installs directly on the primary drive without letting the user change.

        I have tried setting the installation location to my D; drive but CC installed them on my C: drive anyway. Any Ideas?

        You can configure the installation destination within the Creative Cloud applications preferences.  Please be aware that there will still be shared resources stored to your primary drive.  In addition during the install process temporary files will also be created on your primary drive.

          does that mean it's mandatory to install on the primary drive?  One can't edit their registry to have Adobe CC + Apps/Software installed to a secondary drive?  I run my OS on a SSD, and I would really like to keep the clutter to a minimum on that drive..  So installing to that second drive is going to be important for me..

          A thorough response would be greatly appreciated..

            Kevinson you can find details in post #4 of this discussion on how to customize the install location.  It is necessary to install the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application, shared resources, and temporary files for the installation process on the primary drive. 

            The Creative Cloud applications do support installation to a custom location.
