LabVIEW2025Q3 installation on different disk

[Kazu2025]

Hello,

When I install LabVIEW 2025Q3, it did not give an option to select install directory. Is there any trick to change installation directory? There is no room on my C drive.

Hi

It is a bad idea to change the default installation locations. You will regret it, if not sooner then when you try to uninstall LabVIEW again.

But if you persist here is a hint :

A much better idea for someone in your situation would be to create a windows-to-go installation on a fast USB3 stick or even a USB3 based NVME stick.

Yes, Microsoft has de-featured the installation concept since 2020 or so, but with the proper 3'rd party tools you can still create such a disk even for Windows 11. Google will tell you how to do it.

PS: My best LabVIEW related advice is to never install more than one LabVIEW version on a partition, if you also need to install any driver, module or tool. It will inevitably result in Gordian Knot like compatibility problems without any solution.

Hello

Thank you very much for your information.

I understand about better installing default location.

I will try to find a way to increase disk space somehow.

Thanks!
