I'm trying to install Design Suite Premium on my computer. Because I 'only' have a 128GB SSD (which is almost completely filled with (needed!) software) for boot-drive C, I'd like to install the suite to drive D (750GB HD). During installatiion it says that 12GB of free space is needed on drive C. Installation can only be aborted from this point! It seems the installer is using drive C hardcoded for temp-files, unpacking etc. Why?!
Freeing space on drive C obviously is not an option, because I'd have to delete software that I use. Is there a way to bypass drive C completely and only use drive D for unpacking and installing?
Thanks in advance for your clever solution!
PS. Last year I had the very same issue with suite 2014, back then I had the option to completely move the user-dirs to drive D, and freeing enough space on drive C. Now I'm running out of options; I find this very annoying and user-unfriendly, for such an expensive/professional piece of software!
you should be able to extract where you want
the install requires some files on the OS drive because of microsoft windows requirements

Clear but not satisfying at all... I managed to get the minimum amount of free diskspace (around 10GB) on drive C (by uninstalling and reinstalling some other software). The difference between before and after installation is only a couple of MB's so I don;t get why 10GB had to be free to install. FYI: my temp dir is (ofcourse) already on D...
