So I just bought Elder scrolls online tamrieal unlimited from steam and it downloaded a 66.6 GB installer. When ever I launch the installer it dose not give any option to install the game at any other location than my SSD . I have 54 GB on my SSD with windows and it once gave me an option to install it in my steam library but my drive has only 131 gb so with the installer in it I have no way of accommodating 85 GB . any idea on how I install it at any other location?

I think moving steam to a drive with enough storage space should do the trick.

I've had a couple that installed that way in Steam, so I had to select the path in Steam before downloading the installer. Create a new Steam folder is you don't already have one on the other drive, then move the install to that directory and try again.

 

Move it through the Steam app, not file explorer.

@Abdullah Arif, Where is you current Library for Steam is it on your SSD or your HDD? if you have a 2 game libraries on your PC then you going to need to set your one on the HDD as your primary installation point for games. As by the looks the game is trying to install it where the installer is which I'm assuming is on your SSD. 

 

Question do you have Two steam libraries? One on your SSD and one on your HDD? 

Some people prefer a challenge, I just band my head against a wall until my method works...

ive hit upon an ingeneous idea!

move the game to the drive where I want it. move other files from where I moved the game and then install it in the drive! this is gonna take a while:D
