ProblemShifting Affinity Photo 2 from C drive to D drive

[Petrel]

Recently I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 from an old Dell to a new Lenovo using Laplink.  My Affinity apps, Photo, Designer and Publisher all copied to the C drive, which is now too small to cope.  I uninstalled Designer and Publisher but tried to use the facility in Windows 11 to move Photo2 from the C drive to the D drive.  I tried three times and got error code 0x80073cf6 each time.  I tried uninstalling, downloading to the D drive and reinstalling but Affinity Photo 2 reinstalled to the C drive giving me no chance to instal to the D drive.  How can I get the application off the C drive onto the D drive please?

Hi Petrel, I think this FAQ may answer your question.

Thanks for the tip.  I have now told the PC to save everything new to the D drive, including new apps.  Having done that I re-installed Photo2 and, sure enough, it followed my instruction to save it to a new folder on the D drive. Flushed with success I created new folders for Designer and Publisher (original versions) and reinstalled both.  In spite of giving the correct paths to the new folders both apps installed to the C drive so had to be uninstalled again.  Same thing happened with Acrobat, which I wanted to move also, so it's not just a Serif thing.  I checked back and, sure enough, all my default storage were still registered to the D drive so Windows 11 may be at fault here.

Anyway, Photo 2 was the important one and I now have plenty of space on my C drive.

Thanks again.
