How do I install Vegas Edit 21 on a different hard drive?

I tried to install Vegas Edit  21 on my main computer (which has not very much space left on the C drive) and unlike almost every other program I have ever installed, there was no choice as to which hard drive I wanted to install the software. Is there a way I can direct the software to a folder I have on the D drive?

When starting the installation, click on 'Change default settings:

... then click on 'Select target paths':

... where you choose another destination for the installation.

Just be prepared for the possibility of problems because a few others on the forum over the years have encountered problems when installing on a drive other than the C:\ drive. If there are problems, consider uninstalling some of the other programs and install them on the D:\ drive in order to make room for Vegas Pro on the C:\ drive

I'm sorry, I always put vegas (and not only) on disc D. I've never had any problems because of this. Possible problems may be for other reasons.
