So I attempt to install Inventor on my D drive as my C drive is pretty much full.
I specify where on the D drive to install and I get the error that there's "not enough space on the C drive, 15G needed"
Well no duh! That's why I told you to install on the D drive.
So, what's the trick? How do I stop the install process from thinking I want it on the C drive even after specifying to put everything on the D drive? It shouldn't be this difficult. What am I missing?

Clean out what you can. Move older versions data to the 2nd drive.
I have some tricks that can probably get you working. There's a lot of ways to clear some space. Moving the %TEMP% folder would go a long way to solving this. Also moving the Windows memory swap file, disabling hibernation, etc.
I have a laundry list of things you can check here:
Good Luck!
Thanks everyone!
This seems like it could be an issue. There should be an option to do such, especially if it offers such.
Honestly, for my situation, I think I'm just going to get a new system. My current system is now 7 yrs old and has served its purpose. Time to retire it from CAD and let it retire to VR game playing...;)
It's time.
