(SOLVED) Not about a piece of code, but need help installing MSV Studio

Question

Microsoft Visual Studio won't stop trying to install crap to my C: Drive, but there isnt space. I only have space enough to have my OS. Everything else installs fine when i direct them to install on the D: drive but Microsoft visual wants to install Gigs of data when i try to add workloads or whatever like C# and Python...

I cant even start coding :(

Answer 1

yeah visual studio is a massive piece of software, I can't tell if there is a way to change it's installation directory. but if you are really limitted on space, you could code using the lightweight visual studio code (similar name)
it can do python without issues, it can also do c# but requires some extra components.

Answer 2

Ipang i was worried about that.. :( i'd like to start before my trial is up 🤷‍♂️

Answer 3

Ipang thanks friend! I'll check it out when im done at work here 😁

Answer 4

Many had the same issue and had also sent their feedback to Microsoft. But to this date no solution is yet avilable for this issue. It is a gigantic software, there's no workaround its installation size except to get a bigger storage for the installation to work.

Answer 5

Apollo-Roboto ok, cool! Is this an alternative or is there a similar free "program" i could use for C#, python and java?

Answer 6

Sorry to hear
Perhaps look for alternatives?
