This isn't the first time they have had this kind of issue & I doubt it will be the last. Something that really throws a lot of software for a loop is having a system drive that isn't C: Most people won't have that specific issue, but as someone that tests software for a living I do like to find weird bugs that make developers walk away saying "how?!"

I hate when software developers assume C: is the system drive, especially when it doesn't take much coding to avoid that pitfall. ID: 1925476 · |

Yep, hard-coding system drive as C: is issue too, but here more peculiar case. They detected that my D: drive is SD card so "removable". And though I use it as constantly attached (as in smartphones) they refuse to install on this drive. What a smartass behavior :). Of course I circumvented this already, but to spend time on such things.... bad-bad-bad M$... Most astounishing that VS 15.4 freely installed on same "removable" D: before. And with 15.6 they decided it should not work... SETI apps news We're not gonna fight them. We're gonna transcend them. ID: 1925479 · |
