In Inventor the installer won't properly install to my D drive. How do you fix this problem and is anyone else having this issue?

 

Please refer to the attachments for the Video of the error and for reference my C drive has ~5 GB available and my D drive has ~1.5 TB available.

The official answer would be to uninstall all your suite and reinstall it at D :

If you downloaded the installer package to your C drive, I would try moving that initial package onto your D drive instead and launching the install from there. I think the package might be picking your C:\Autodesk folder to unpack and then install onto D.

A similar thread below offers more tips about moving your TEMP location in Windows before you install (and shows a heated debate for when you have some popcorn ready):

"Run a “Browser Download” not an “Install now”. This gives you movable install files, put them on a non C drive or USB, whatever
Empty your temp folder, to open the TEMP folder, type %TEMP% in the Windows Start search bar
Open your enviroment variables and Redirect your Temp folder to a non C: drive
Run the installer and point the install location to a non C: drive. If there is no prerequisite forcing the install to C: it should install where you direct it."
