Question

Installing In Incorrect Location

My Premiere Pro will not install where I've told my Adobe programs to do so. Is there a way to uninstall and force the program to move to the correct drive? I've attached screenshots of the error highlighting where the program is trying to install vs where I've told the programs to install.

    After my recent cleaning out, I've just recently got my c: drive down to 130gb. I have about 5gb of stuff I'm going to move to my sata SSD, but I have to change a the links to there, but that's just a couple hours work now, and less hassle going forward. 

    After you've uninstalled everything, run the Adobe Cleaner, which I linked above.

    I have exactly the same Problem, except: It installs all my Updates on D instead of C. This is sooooo annyoing.

    Like, everytime I make an update, it creates a new folder on D and installs the software there. Than I manualy put the folder over to my C drive. And yeha, it s so dumb, cause my D is an HDD super slow (mainly use it for Backups) and my system does not recognize that I have the software, so I can't open files directly and have to first launch illustr and others than select open file form within.

    This problem gets on my damn nerves since months!!

      Is the reason why you're trying to install on a different drive is that your C drive is full?

      The C: is close to full, and it is why I get the error as there is not enough room for a Premiere update. As for a real reason, I just have all of my photography-related items on a drive of their own that also gets backed up on its own.

      All of my files for Premiere that I'm currently using are sitting on my C: regardless of the fact that I chose G: as my destination. All of the other Adobe programs are on the G: like I want. 

       

      I'm not necessarily complaining that my update will not complete due to a lack of space on the C:, I'm more wondering how to move my files over to the drive that they should have installed on in the first place. 


      You're not going to be able to 'move' them. You can try different ways to install it to a different drive, but it has to be done that way (with an install) so the right registry variable, etc get set. It doesn't sound promising.
