Installer chooses wrong disk volume

Hello, I'm trying to install PoE, but its constantly trying to install on wrong disk volume. I did tried different volumes but it chooses non existent E anyway. Did tried running installer as administrator, no luck. Need some help

Tip: change letter of ur drive to E. After installing switch back to original volume letter. PoE do not need to be installed, copied works as well to whatever place on disk.
Doesn't seem like it's trying to install the game on E: drive though, there's something else going on here.

The game isn't 25MB in size, lol. It's probably temp files the installer uses to unpack and install various data files for the game, to the folder specified. Usually, you don't notice these temp files as they are hidden and... doh... temporary. It often happens it writes these on another drive if available, but choosing a drive with a size of 0KB seems odd.

Why do you have a drive E: with a size of 0KB though? Perhaps you should consider removing that partition (after backing up anything you may have stored on it) or removing the drive letter, so applications can't allocate even temp files to the partition anymore. It might fix the issue.

Well, that's one way to get around an installer.
