Can I install Carrara 8.5 on Drive D on my computer?

I am running out of room on my C: drive.

An easy fix is to install Carrara 8.5 (Paid version in 2016) on my computer's D: drive.  Carrara is showing to be 207 GB in my Control Panel which is hard to believe, but ok.

Has anyone ever done this?  

Thank you so much for your help!!

    I also run dual hard drives, but only for a bootable backup of Drive C: using Casper from Future Systems Solutions.  My Carrara program is about 1 GB, there is something wrong with your 207GB.  I'm pretty sure I can run Carrara from my backup hard drive - that's the whole point of Casper, a completely identical drive, bootable.  But a first step might be to offload your C: Drive to external devices - USB drives, flash drives, DVD's, anything.

  • I'm uninstalling first and might install again on C:

    I just copied the Carrara installation folders on C: over to E: then I uninstalled Carrara from c: then reinstalled to the new E: location

    I did that about 10 years ago and since then I've done the same transfer from E: to D:

    I've never had any problems, just had to put the new install settings into DiM if I use that.

    also my Carrara shows it's 16GB in size cool

    Sounds good.  I used to be more disciplined about clearing out the old stuff on hard drives.  Then I got a pair of 2TB SSD's and barely get up to 25% full.  frown
