Hello frodi, :)
Do you mean for Internet Explorer?

Hi Brink, I am afraid I wasn't very clear about this. I am trying to download an application to the D drive. It doesn't give the option to choose a different location. The app itself is 146 MB, so not terribly big, but it has a lot of files.
From a website. It is an accounting program from MYOB.
What browser are you using, and what options do you see when trying to download the file from the website?
IE11. There are no options, it just downloads. When I click 'run' it starts to install.
Odd. I suppose you may have to manually move the .exe to where you wanted after it has downloaded.
However, the path in your screenshot does show the downloaded .exe file in the "D:\Desktop" folder on your D drive.
That's right, but the installer always goes to the C drive. The problem is that if I cannot get the app to install to the D drive, and it installs to C, then it is hard to remove the app as a lot gets installed to the registry. Perhaps I should give it a miss.
(How do you like windows 10?)
Ah, so you don't want to change the download location, but where the app installs to instead.
I'm afraid that's up to the app developer for that.
So far, I think Windows 10 is pretty great.
