How can I install my programs on a separate drive when i get notification: E or D is the root directory??

[mazzz]

I would like to install Autodesk Inventor on my PC. I have Windows 7 (64 bit) on C drive ( SSD 120GB) which is now full ( just 10 GB available - autocad and 3ds max are on C as well).

How can i install Inventor on D or E drive? ( D and E are 2 partitions on 2 TB Hdd)

When i choose this location (D or E) during instalation, i get message: D or E...is the root directory. Do you really want to instal to this location.

I choose Yes but again, small window open which says: Out of disk space, check available disk space and try again.

What should i do?

Thank you

How much free space is available in the "D" and "E" drive?

try D/Inventor

you need to specifiy a directory on D:\ or E:\ i.e. d:\inventor\ else all of the files will be just dumped into the root of the D: and it'll look terribly messy.

I agree. I usually make a "program files" folder on the secondary drive and install there, like your C drive has.

well, i tried to make "program files" and "specify a directory on D or E ( actually i tried both)", but still without any luck 🙁


any idea will be appreciated
