App Version

Wonderful idea. But I can't install it. My system has small M2 SSD as the primary drive.

You can't assume that your users have room on their C: drives, despite what Microsoft calls "Best Practices." There are many people who have C Drives as small as 500MB. Remember the push to small, fast-booting machines? Yeah, that hasn't gone away.

LET US INSTALL TO ANY LOCAL DRIVE.

Expected Behavior

I can install to D. Or E, or any damned drive I want.

Actual Behavior

The installation fails because I don't have room on C. I have a 500MB M2 SSD. I'm not alone.

Steps to Reproduce

Just try the install without enough space on C.

Debug Logs

Irrelevant. It failed for disk space on C.

Browser Logs

Irrelevant. It failed for disk space on C.

Settings JSON

Irrelevant. It failed for disk space on C.

Other

You aren't microsoft. There's no valid reason to continue their idiotic practices rather than working with reality.

Hi, @cgwers. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You reported that the installer fails if the primary C: drive lacks space.
This prevents installation on alternate local drives.
You requested the installer be updated to allow installation on any local drive.
No further activity or comments have been posted since your report.

Next Steps:

Please let me know if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of the desktop app by commenting here.
If I don’t hear back within 7 days, this issue will be automatically closed.
