Installing a program to the D: drive?

[Tyler Jennings]

Hey, so I know how to install a program to the D drive with most programs, but this installer in particular does not have an option where to install the program to, and my C drive is nearly full. Is there any way I can manually change where I want this to install to? Please keep in mind, the installer DOES NOT have an option for where I can install it to. Thanks in advance.

if your C and D drives are partitions on the same physical drive, software such as partition magic can resize your drives without losing data.
if not, you can either make some space (by removing stuff you don't use) or if that's not possible, replace the drive with a larger one and restore an image of your old drive onto the new one.

Depends on the program and the installer type. Anything that uses install shield or is an MSI you can probably command line in your own installation path.

setup.exe INSTALLDIR=D:\whatever
install.msi INSTALLDIR=D:\whatever

Of course some programs don't take kindly to this as morons have hard coded paths and other things in their code.

If the installer does not have a "custom install" option there's nothing you can do to force it to another drive.
