I keep my collection of portable software that covers 90% of my software needs on my D:\ partition. Portable versions can be located on any partition and/or folder of my choosing. And if that also doesn’t work, then it must be a really essential piece of software before I even consider to install it. If that is not possible, I have found software that will help me to turn a piece of software into a portable version of that software. So years ago I came to the conclusion that I will only use portable versions of software. Software that automatically assumes its installation folder must be on the C:\ partition, simply has no reason to exist. While that should not be too difficult, it is an extra step in the installation procedure and more chance of failure to install and/or comply with company policy. Then you need to make changes in the registry, shortcuts etc.
