Disk space problems while trying to install Visual Web Developer Express

I am trying to install Visual Web Dev. Exp. and the installer is insisting that I need 1.3 G free on my C drive even though I am trying to (indeed being forced to) install it on D: drive. Admittedly this is a very old machine with limited space on my C drive (about 860Meg at the moment.)

Will doing a manual install (downloading an image and burning an install CD) allow me to get around this problem

(I really am unable to understand why they couldn't have designed a little more flexibility into the installer.)

    There are dependencies of shared components that Visual Studio Express uses and hence why a lot of users are unable to change the download location. If you have never installed before you should be able to install it to another partition without any issues.

    No problem now. I downloaded and burned the VWDE iso to CD, then installed using that. That reduced the demands on the C: Drive to about 280Meg.
