H: is my XP drive. I multi-boot, with Win2K Pro and WinXP Pro in the mix, and Linux about to be added.
The shortcut appeared on my desktop, and I right-clicked, selected Properties, then clicked Find Target to open the containing folder. the actual program is a 9,726KB executable, and is self-contained. I could copy it to another drive and run it, and it came up fine.
Adobe's installed is a flash based annoyance. It should let you download the installation file and install later. It should also give you control over where it gets installed. Ah, well. It's not the first time Adobe has ignored existing standards and conventions and done things their way.

And C: is my XP drive. That's really the only thing that is on C ... just my system. I like to keep all programs elsewhere (and all data on another disk, and all downloads on yet another disk), so that whenever I feel the need to wipe and reinstall the system, I don't necessarily have to reinstall every damned program I own. So, maybe the flash installer defaults to where ever it sees the OS??
Perhaps I'll copy it to my Programs disk ... that's if I decide to use it. I might find it a nice way to keep/search my pdf files.
