The easiest way to move Visual Studio to another drive is to export the .vsconfig and export the installation to a removable drive. or the other drive on your computer.

You also need the Visual Studio Installer.exe - examples - vs_Enterprise.exe

Next, Copy the Directory for AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages - this is where all your downloads are of *cab files

You will need the VS_Layout folder and all in it.

It is also good to copy the setup.exe where devenv.exe is and that whole directory.

if you use Windows Kits, or Microsfot SDK's it is good tpo copy those too.

Nothe the directory where each is located and write them down.

Next you will need cmd.exe and run it as an Administrator.

CD to where you have this information stored, hopefully an external or usb drive.

CoPilot said: \>vs_Enterprise.exe install --noweb installPath="Your_Install_Path" now that's what I got down to as the easiest.

Then I pasted .vsConfig where it should go and tried again.

Then VS_Layout Folder

Then the Packages Folder and Voila!

For myself I used ..\setup.exe with all the other information I had available using help whittled it to work.

Make sure you have your key, Product Key or Kablooey!
