Install Fusion 360 on drive other than C

Anonymous
Not applicable

My C drive is a tiny 128Gb and is full. The .exe tries to install Fusion 360 to my C drive automatically and does not even ask where I want it installed to. I want to install to my E drive, which is a cloned windows OS, it has a programs folder and all. How can I do this?

Due to the fact that Fusion 360 is a webdeployed application it must be installed on the C: Drive.  Also this is required in order to allow for automatic updates.

Fusion 360 installs to the user's %APPDATA% directories, which is common for cloud-based, auto-updating applications installed at a user level, but Windows does not currently allow users to relocate these directories as they are technically part of the Windows user profile.

 

That said, if the other partition is also a Windows image, can you boot into it and install Fusion there? You should still be able to launch it from the other Windows installation, though running Fusion from another drive isn't exactly a supported or well-tested scenario.
