Installing on a separate drive?

Was out of commission for a while due to computer problems, I have an E:\ drive that I'd far prefer to have everything on and I want to put everything on that. Redownloading everything now, but after installing the CC3+ base program it didn't ask me where everything installs. I just tried reinstalling the Random Dungeon Generator, but not once did it ask me where it would install. How can I confirm it installed to my E:\ drive?
Also excited to be back and mapping!

CC3+ always does a split install. The actual program itself is always installed to the C-drive, but it is extremely tiny (less than 100MB with absolutely everything installed), the rest goes to the location you chose for your data directory in the CC3+ installer (Which I presume is e:\ something in your case), which is the bulk of the install (art, configuration, templates, maps, drawing tools, symbol catalogs, and all the rest)
Any add-ons installed after that will never ask for location, but just go to the appropriate directory of the two. Components needed by the program itself (mostly things like .dll files) will be added to the folder on C, but any content will be added to the data directory in your chosen location.
After downloading the Character Artist 3 setup, it says it cannot find the CC3 installation. Does the character artist 3 folder have to be in a different location or?
No, CA3 doesn't really care about the location, it just lives in the CC3+ folders wherever they might be.
Did you get the right version of the CA3 installer? There is one installer for CC3 and one for CC3+.
I'm an idiot. I did download the one for CC3. Downloaded the right one and it worked just fine, as it should.
