So, your computer has no space left in the C drive?
By default, windows systems install any application in the location C > Program Files
You can change the default installation directory, here's how
You can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.
Run the Registry Editor (Windows + R and enter regedit) and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. by default,this value will be C:\Program Files.
Edit the value to any valid drive or folder and XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.
Done!
Awesome new vids coming soon!
