Wanted to install on a different drive than C:

I didn't notice that I could change where the program installed on the page where you agree to the EULA and now I can't designate where it should be installed. Any way to indicate that on the stand alone installer? My C drive is a small, fairly old ssd. Would have preferred to put it on one of my other drives.

Same issue for me :(

I'm going to try reinstalling/moving PoE1 to a different location, and see if PoE2 just always ends up next to it.
Cannot agree more.
I would say that a standard in these days is to let the user to pick a drive and folder where the game should be installed.
Is there any technical reason for not having this option?
Thank you.

UMM. WHAT!? i have a 1tb boot drive and a 4 tb storage drive.. I definately do not want anything on my 1tb boot drive. Are you saying I dont have a choice? That it will download where it wants?
Read carefully. There is an option to change disc location on "PathofExileInstaller.exe
Just like in PoE 1 this is hidden really well.

With PoE1's size it was kinda ok - but installing 90GB on Drive C: without even stating the installation Folder anywhere is a joke.

Not even Blizzard does this...
To top it all: When you realize it, stopping and restarting the installer doesn't give you the option again.

Maybe they need to change" Option" to " Other then C:\ - click here" :P

When the installer window opens up select "Options" at the bottom.
