In previous versions of Office, you had to select a custom (or advanced) install in order to select a non-default location. The default install will always go to the C: drive otherwise.

unfortualty this does not use the instal wizard and there instaler gives you no option that i can find

Any normal install of Office 2013 gives the option of where to put it. I did exactly this recently. Installed it on another drive.

DVD? USB? From the first click, step by step....what options does it give?

What website?

the microsoft office website

the microsoft office website

It ends up as an exe file, right? Every single Office install I've ever seen, from Office 95 to Office 2013, gives multiple options on the install...What parts of Office, and specifically where to install it.

Click on the exe and what happens? What dialog boxes and tabs appear?

first the standerd do you want to run this dowloaded file and then the second do you want to let it make changes and then it starts instaling makes you watch a video and finishes instaling all without ever giving you acess to any buttons but next and cancel

What is the full filename of the downloaded file?
I've never, ever seen an Office install that does not give that option. And I've done it dozens, of not hundreds, of times.

What OS are you using?

Setup.X86.en-US_HomeStudentRetail_408f23c2-5f02-484c-8538-abf41a652081_TX_PR_

Well, I don't have any experience with the Home-Student version, but I still find that very, very weird.

 

[legokill101]

any idea if there is a difrent instaler or somthing like a advanced version?

 

[USAFRet]

You don't see anything about " Language and install options" ?

A couple of screenshots as you progress would work here.

[legokill101]

[USAFRet]

That is very, very weird.

Hi,

just a thought but you may want to give this a go: http://www.intowindows.com/change-default-installation-directory-in-windows-7-vista/

then try installing again and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks,
