    Hi, I'm trying to install Arturia V Collections 9, from Team R2R, in my HDD (my "D:" drive), but when I open the "exe" file it doesn't ask in which directory/folder i want to install the VST, it just automatically chooses my C: drive, my SSD, which does not have enough storage left to install it. The installer only asks for the Components(Standalone, .VST2, .VST3, .AAX, NKS files)


    Is there a way there i can install it directly on the D: drive?

    The arturia installer will install most all the stuff to your "program data" directory. Temporarily clear some stuff off your C:/ drive and run the install. You'll have to clear a substantial amount of bits as the arturia install is rather huge... You will notice a shit ton of stuff being installed to the "program data/arturia" directory. Once the installer has completed, you can then move that entire folder via symlinks to the new destination. Check arturia site/web search for instruction on how to move the installation to another drive.

    - Create "Arturia" folder in your D: drive that will store content.
    - Create symbolic links of above folder and place it in C:\ProgramData\ so now you will have "C:\ProgramData\Arturia" folder that link to your Arturia folder in D:
    (I use https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html)
    - Install, now content in "C:\ProgramData\Arturia" will redirect to D: instead.
