I have not partitioned anything. I did already install Windows 8.1.
When I went to install Adobe Creative Suite to C: it tells me there is no room even though it says I have 890gb of 931gb free. My question is do I have to partition to install programs?
 
Solution


if you can download the relevant Adobe thing direct from Adobe.
Then try to install again.

No, you do not have to partition anything.
Nor should you.

You have a 1TB drive?
OS installed on this?
And Adobe is complaining?

1. What exact steps did you do to install this?
2. Where did you obtain the Adobe suite?
3. Please show us a screencap of your disk management window.

Installer is asking for folder to copy to, and has C:\Program files (x86) by default. It also hows that C: has 0MB available.

then the Error message says "the path you selected for installation contains unsupported characters choose different folder for install"

OK, this is odd.
Where did this Win 8.1 install come from?
How old is this install?

Just Windows anti v at the moment. I have xfinity account so was going to install free Norton stuff after I was done with Adobe :( .

I tried again and in addition to before mentioned it now says: that (C:\ Program files x86) the folder I have selected is marked as read only

1. Does any other application you try to install do this same thing?
2. Do NOT install that Norton crap.

This worked although I had to call Adobe because it was a hard copy and not something I had downloaded from their site. But having the serial number and it being registered to me allowed them to let me download their files. Cheers!
