Installing Creo on another drive

Installing Creo on another drive

I am trying to install Creo 3.0 in E:\Program Files\PTC, but it keeps defaulting to my C:\ drive. The only time I can see it prompting for a install location is here:Creo.png

No matter what I put in the "Installation path for all applications" box, it ALWAYS installs in C:\Program Files\PTC (after trying three times now). Any way to either reinstall to the proper location, or perhaps move the existing install without manually redirecting all the shortcut paths and registry entries?

Maybe related or not, but if I try to just delete the whole PTC folder, there are a few lingering files that cannot be deleted because they are in use by the MSI service.

Unfortunately every time I try to contact support on this, it says I do not have access to those privileges and redirects me to this forum, which seems to not really fit my problem. But any help would be appreciated!

I do not know if it is true or not but I read somewhere...

If you put the location in, be sure to hit the enter key to lock in the location.

just maneuvering to the location is not good enough.

We gave up long before I heard about this and just let it do it's thing...

That is correct, you must 'lock' in the location with an Enter.
