it's not possible to install other than default path

But you can move the installation folder to where you want and create the shortcut yourself.

It IS possible to install on another drive.

I also have a SSD and some programs I install on the SSD and other I install on my HDD.

The v. 2019 I have installed on my HDD.

You specify it upon installation. No need to move anything.

Thanks John S.  I have just tried reinstalling sucessfulley but back on C:..  I did not see any option to specify.. I recall the app install showed in a flash where it was installing [ in C ] but so quick I did not see anywhere to select a specify option..

How do you get to that?  

Thanks John, found that preferences option button, selected that, and then only option was if I want to add a desktop shortcut..  See image attached..  Does your version have other options?

@Claudio

Yes-I am sure.

Just installing v. 17.

This is what is shown under the installation under preferences. I have chosen the English language so you can see the text.

I also checked the program files folders ( programs and programs(x86) and there is only my version 12 that I installed on the C-drive.

After installation I have this :

I have made a folder "projekter" where I have my projects.

This way I have the program and the projescts on another drive than the C-drive.

This is also the way I think it should be. If you have a SSD harddisk you probably won't have it filled with programs. Therefore it is essential that X5 can be installed elsewhere than the C-drive.

John, thanks for that detailled explanation and the image clearly shows you are right, at least with Ver 17.. but my Ver 2019 does NOT have that "browse" button..  Maybe Claudio maybe right and that it has been removed as an option..  Pity..  and as you say, uers may well want with SSD not to clutter up C drive with apps..  Thats what I am trying to avoid..  Thanks

Hello peter

The option shown was ALSO when I installed the 2019 - the 2019 installation is NOT on my C-drive.

I don't want to make an uninstall and a new install before it should be neccessary. I hope someone else is able to verify that it is correct what I tell about installation.

I can't guess why you don't have this option upon installation.

Or - maybe I have a magic computer that makes it possible for only me :-)

@John ...

I did another test on another pc and even there does not ask me where I want to install ; obviously even that pc has two partitions.

Really very strange.

We are waiting for the STAFF that will clear the mystery...

@Claudio

You are not asked for the path.

You have to click on "Preferences" to see the option for installation path.

But - I agree - let's wait for INCOMEDIA to clear this up.

It is not there anymore, I asked Incomedia to respond.....Let's wait.

of course I've checked the options, but I can't change path, I don't have that option !!!

ok, I tried installation on a clean Netbook.

1. I started Installation of current V2019, fresh download from my profile. I was offered to choose a destination folder. I quit installation.

2. I started installation of latest V17, also got the possibilty to install in different folder which I did.

3. I tried installing V2019 again. I did NOT get the option to choose a folder! Instead the V17 from step 2 is overwritten.

Is this a bug or a feature? For me it's a bug!

Grazie Elisa !

Ok ladies and Gentlemen, thank you..  I can live ok with that advice..
