I need to install Pro Tools First on other than the C: drive !!??
My C: drive does not have enough room to install Pro Tools First.
The installer lists the other available drives but they cannot be selected. Any help would be most appreciated. |

Like with lots of software (even those with installers that don't enforce it) this stuff needs to be on C: |

The person who wrote the installer had a choice, to not show other drives at all, or show drives and make it clear you can't select to install on them. Neither is a clear/most obvious choice as to what is the better UI/UX experience. One the user can get confused thinking the installer is not seeing other dives at all, the other the user (like you) can get confused thinking well it's listed there.... oh but why can't I select it... well you can't select it becasue hopefully the developer who wrote the installer made damn sure you can't select it because doing so will break things. And even if you could select a different drive in the installer UI, doing so will likely cause you problems, if not now, then in the future. Which is what I'm warning you about and giving you your only solutions to do what you want. And it that was all obvious to you, then what are you asking here for? |

And I'll add that Windows installers are some of the nastiest most broken !@#$ software out there. I've worked on major commercial software, hugely complex stuff, yet we've had to spend huge amount of time just fighting the stupid installer development software, lack of/wrong documentation and bugs in Windows. So I gave some respect for any company who makes a Windows installer that work with any complex software product.
