If Cakewalk does not offer an install path option, it means the installer detected a previous install.

This could be an old Cakewalk (the Company) DAW or a version of Cakewalk by BandLab.

Either way, all old Cakewalk DAWs and Cakewalk by BandLab must be installed on the same drive.

To  install to another drive, perform a clean re-install or use directory junctions to relocate existing folders.

Should you elect to run a clean re-install see the following post about step 9 in the clean install process.

+1 to using the directory junction approach. my stuff is on the D:/ drive but the directory junctions on the C:/ drive make the app think its running on C:/ and all new installations just do their thing. and as i discover new locations on the C:/ drive which contain "stuff" which i don't want there, i move it and create a new junction to match the old folder and viola! as a note: dump a list of your directories periodically to  a text file so you can re-create the junctions should you decide to wipe the drive for an OS refresh or replace it with a larger one later.

If your C drive is full you must be storing data files there. Move the data to a storage drive were it belongs. A full C drive will have issues. I keep mine under 60 % if possible.
