Office 365 Install Directory


Question

So I have decided to give the Office 365 Home a go and signed up for a free month and installed it. I only have 1 issue with it though. I want to install Office 2013 on my E:\ drive not on C:\ so is there any way at all I can change this?

The following Office 365 product IDs are supported by the Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run in Office 365 deployments: 
  • O365ProPlusRetail
  • O365BusinessRetail
  • VisioProRetail
  • ProjectProRetail
  • SPDRetail (SharePoint Designer)

Since I am using Office 365 Home I cant use that tool. and as for the other option you linked I am not even sure that can do what I want it to do.

the second option is allow you to move office folder to another location of your choice.

I downloaded and ran it and I do not see a single option for Microsoft Office at all.

I am sorry.

 

I guess you use installation on C drive and you can try to use different location for documents, templates, etc on other drive.  

 

If not, you can use Office products such as Office 2013 which has custom installation instead of Office 365.

The office 365 subscription allows you to download and install Office 2013 which is what I did.

but it uses the stupid click to run installer so you click it and it installs and there is nothing you can really do about it.

 

 

Has office ever been installable on non-system drives?

 

Yeah. Way back when I was using a cracked copy of office 2007 (I know pirating is wrong) and I could choose where to install it.

 

It's not a big deal really I just like being able to control where my installed programmes go. I am not a fan when I click and installer and it just runs and I don't get any customisation options at all. And if there is no easy way to change it then so be it I just find it really silly that I can not do that.

I meant licensed version of office 2013 or whatever... Not from subscription..

Ah right I get what you mean. It does kind of suck that you can not pick the install directory if you are an Office 365 subscriber. Also I do not think there is an ISO of the one I have installed as it is exactly the same of Office 365 Personal except I get 5 installs and I just did a Google search and the only ISO file and non click to run based install is Office 2013 Professional Plus ><!
