How can I install Storyline 360, and the rest of the bunch, to a D: drive, not C:?
It would be great to run Articulate programs from an SSD drive. I tried using the Command Prompt Technique referenced for SL2... https://articulate.com/support/article/how-to-change-the-installation-location-for-articulate-storyline-2
But I had no luck. It still installed the '360 installer' on the C:drive. And the 360 installer just installs programs where ever it's sitting.
Anybody done this successfully?

Hello, I'm doing research for a new tool to introduce for my companies production of e-learning course but I can't find out how to customize the installation, specifically changing the install directory.
Has this feature not been added yet? It's definitely a no go if Articulate doesn't add simple feature requests that are over a year old. Hi Michael and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
As Ashley shared above here, you are welcome to reach out to our support team if you wish.

But it has been requested. So it seems you won't be adding it? I mean it's been requested in this post before and if you're asking me to do what people did years ago and it never will get addressed I have very little faith i Atriculate's ability to innovate and progress the software.

I'm going to second and third what everyone is saying here: many of us have smaller system drives and don't have the space to install software on it. I'm actually not able to install because I don't have sufficient disk space on my system drive.
Seems that most other software has this functionality, I'm shocked there's no preference item to simply change install location!

I need this functionality also. How many requests does it take to make the case for this need? I'm sure we can drum up support within the user ranks!
I understand Mary. It is a need/request that our team is aware of.
I wanted to make sure you saw Ashley's response here in case that would help you and your team.

Hello, I am on trial for Storyline 3, and I am not able to choose where to install the software when I launch the .exe (like any other software in the history of Computers). Does this mean that it is still not possible to install the software on a different drive? I have a Dedicate applications F drive and I dnot install any application on my OS drive.
If it has become possible please help, this will determine decision to purchase, yes it is that important, thank you kindly. Hey Jean and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
It looks like you were able to reach out here as well and Pete was able to pop in and assist you with some directions.

Hi! I just dowloaded articulate 360 on my very small C drive because it seems like there is'nt yet the option of downloading it on a D drive. I just discovered that people are struggling with that since 2 years now, are you serious folks?
Storyline is a must have for my job to come, and I can't even do the trial because of a cimple feature missing?
As I won't buy a new PC for you and I have a very limited range of allowed actions on my computer, I would like to have a simple answer :
Is your dev team trying to do anything about that right now, or should I turn to the competition ? Hi M,
Right now, we're not working on an option for installing Storyline on a separate drive. If anything changes and we add this option in the future, we'll let everyone here know about it!

Restricting my ability to manage my own software installation and backup processes is unfortunate; even Adobe lets me choose where to install my software! I partitioned my hard drive to separate my OS from my applications, which helps to manage resources and memory. I'm sure your IT folks area ware of this "best practice." But, to restrict that feature, even though it's been a standard software install feature as long as I can remember, seems like a larger issue at play from Articulate, Inc.
Nevertheless, trials are to help me determine whether the software will work in my environment, so I can invest in a product, or in this case, decide to remove it from my list of hopefuls. Even though it has features I like, I cannot change my work environment and must learn to let go and move on.
