Change Default Install Directory of Visual Studio 2008

Question

I would like to install Visual Studio 2008 on a PC with an existing VS2005 install. Due to the lack of space on my C: drive, I would like to install VS2008 on my D: drive. Is this possible?

Note:

I have reinstalled all trivial applications on my D: drive, and have cleared as much space as possible on the C: drive. Due to the fact that my development machine is locked down, I cannot change the default partition size or rebuild the machine.

I am aware that this is not strictly a programming question, but as it does relate to the development environment, I thought I would ask it.

Answer 1

When you do a custom install, you have the opportunity to specify the target directory, although some space on the system drive will still be required.
