How come Autocad won't give me an option or let me change the installation location when I try to install, it automatically goes to my C Drive, but I want to change it to my D Drive how can I do this?

Hi,

 

>> Autocad won't give me an option or let me change the installation location

Look to that screenshot, isn't that what you are looking for?

Yes, but as you can see it will not give me an option to choose a different driver, do you know how I can change my default driver for installation?

I have also unistalled Autodesk Recep, and I still have this problem. (I have installed autocad 3 months ago and recently unistalled it due to my C driver not having enough space)

AutoCAD will install most of it's system files on drive C. No workaround.

Hi,

>> yes

Well, in the screenshot you have selected the item "Shared components" ... and for that you can't defined another storage space as this folder has to be in the program-files folder. No way to move that to another position because of Windows rules.

 

If you uninstall AutoCAD and for a new installation select "Autodesk AutoCAD 2016" item in that dialog .. then you should be able to change the position.
