Install to D drive instead of default C drive

I have the same problem, SSD drive. I am waiting for the answer to the question also, as in step by step instructions on how to install to a different drive.

Thank You

Hi Resa,

 

Thank you for choosing Office 365/2013 and thanks for providing us an opportunity to assist you. By the description, it looks like you do not have enough space in C drive so want to know if we can install Office 365 suite on a different drive.

 

Have you purchased Office 365 Home Premium subscription or Office 2013 perpetual license?

 

Unlike previous version of Office, the new Office 365 Home Premium uses the Click-to-Run technology to install. Click-to-Run is a streaming and virtualization technology and Streaming allows users to use a Click-to-Run product before the complete product is downloaded.

 

By default Office 365 Home Premium installs on the respective drive where the Operating System is installed and cannot be customized.

 

However for Office 2013 suite (perpetual License), you also get the setup file (Complete Setup file) using which you can install on the D drive.

Though you install the Office 2013 on D Drive, all the registry entries or some of the installation files will be installed on the C Drive where the Operating system is installed.

 

If you have any query and issues with Office suites and office related products, reply and we will be happy to assist you.

 

Thank You

Hello Srinivasu Guntimadugu,

Was this issue ever resolved with the Microsoft Office Home and

Student 2013?

Last Tuesday I purchased the product key from Radio Shack.  It

did not indicate on the packaging that the office 2013 could only

be installed to the local (C:) drive or that Office 2013 required 5 1/2

gigs for install.

I have windows 7 and am trying to install the Microsoft Office

Home and Student 2013.  My local Drive which is C: drive is too

small to accommodate the 5 and a half gigs that is required.  It

was only big enough for the OS and a little extra for items placed

on the desktop like some icons and text files.  I don't have any

applications that can be removed to make space for it either.

Could anyone please point me in the direction of a step by step

way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Jeff

Maybe someone can help me answer this then:  I am in technical support for a university and we would like to pre-empt the installation of this product (MS Office 365 University) on our open access areas.  By default (and I don't think there is any other way) this product installs into the root of the user's home profile directory and downloads over 600MB of files.  It also "salt and peppers" the AppData/Roaming folder structure.  If a student installs this product on our managed PCs (which you can do as a non-administrator) and doesn't uninstall it before logging out, their Profiles will be over quota and will NOT copy back correctly.  In my tests, this will corrupt your profile.  If you exclude the Microsoft Office 15 folder from copying back you still get a corrupt profile if you log onto another PC.  So my question is how do we protect our students profiles (our customers) from the installation of this product?

As far as I can tell there is no option to install Office 365 anywhere but the C: drive.  I have yet to find anywhere where Office 2013 can be downloaded as a msi installer which would allow installations to be customised.
