Cannot change the installation drive for 8.7.

Yes - cannot change the installation drive for 8.7. Worked fine for 8.5

I don't think this is the same problem you are having, but I'm asking if anyone can help. I'd rather ask here than post a bug to the repository if it isn't a bug.

I have a drive and folder specified for download which has plenty of space. But the installer goes to select C:\ by default and tells me there is insufficient space. I am unable to select or move the highlight to D:\ for correct installation. Is there an actual support engineer who can weigh in here? Thanks very much.

Open the installer and click I accept the terms in the License Agreement. Once you have done this, you will notice that Advanced and Install are no longer greyed out. Click on Advanced and browse to where you want calibre installed. See the attached images.
