PSP2021 AI HDR, Ultimate Creative Content Install Location

[Juicy]

Hello,

Has anyone been able to install AI HDR and the Ultimate Creative Content with PSP 2021 Ultimate on a Windows drive other than C:\? The install process does not appear to give any option for install location.

I'd rather not clutter up my small system SSD with limited capacity with anything too far beyond the OS itself, however Corel does not seem to have provided any flexibility on this.

The PSP main app allows installation elsewhere, but these plug ins seem to be very stubborn about where they can and cannot go. I think Corel must have gone to extra effort to not allow it to be installed anywhere else using InstallShield MSI packaging which almost always bundles in this flexibility in it's app packaging. I Find it rather hard to believe that in this day and age this simple option would be overlooked, so hopefully I am just missing something.

Thanks!

I have not as I only have on harddrive. The Creative Content you can definitely move after the fact. You just need to know where they are installed, then move them and tell PSP where to find them using the File Locations dialog.

AI HDR Studio - I think this might be hardcoded into the plugin file. Though I couldn't find any reference to it in the plugin file. There is a registry key for the location of the program but changing it didn't make the plugin look in the new location.

So I think the easiest option is to just copy the AI HDR Studio folder to the new location, then create a symbolic link in C:\Program Files\ for it.

Example: Open CMD as administrator
use the command mklink with /J parameter

mklink /J "C:\Program Files\AI HDR Studio" E:\AI HDR Studio (Or whatever your new location is)

Doing this I was able to move AI HDR Studio to my desktop.

Thank you Levi, will give this a try! Unfortunately far more manual than it should be, especially for the AI HDR, but certainly better than nothing. Appreciate the advice!
