I purchased a Microsoft Go for my daughter on her 10th birthday. She is wanting to get into animation and creating YouTube videos. I have a copy of Adobe CS6 that I want to install on her device. We got the 32Gb model with a 128Gb external SD card. While trying to install, Adobe kept throwing an error that it could not install to the external Drive. I even tried to change the default location of where to install apps and that did not work. Luckily her dad knows a trick or two. Here is what I did to ‘fool’ the system and make it work.
- Right click on the windows menu and choose Disk Management.
- Right click on the partition you want to install Adobe applications to. In my case it was D: SDEX
- Next click on “Change Drive Letters and Paths…”
- Now click Add.
- Select a folder on the C drive that you want to use as your mount point. I chose Adobe
- Click OK.
Now when you I restarted my install I simply chose the Adobe directory and the installer thought it was really installing on the C: drive. Instant success.
