Installation of Prepar3d

[Kadus]

Good morning, I know this question has been asked several times and I have tried all solutions and nothing has worked. I'm downloading prepar3d onto my e drive. When I select it in my installation section and click next, the whole download goes to my c drive. It doesn't make sense for almost like 60 gbs or something like that to be on my c drive and not on my e drive.

Note: your E drive is an external drive, correct?
Did you really want P3D to install on it?

You download the e.g., 13GB zip to E
UnZIP on E
Run Setup
Were you given a default location to install P3D?

Did you e.g. modify the default path to e.g, E:\P3Dv4? or you could choose another drive, not E.
And then continue with the install?

Yes it is a external drive. Yes i do really want to install it on there. I did unzip on the E drive, run setup. The default location was on my c drive. And I did modify the path to E:\! Flight Sim Stuff\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 and then continued with install.

Ok,
First, just to be sure.
Have you started P3D to verify your install is ok.
The LM F22 default flight should load with the engines running.

Yes, the LM F22 Does load correctly and I had installed the QW787 to also confirm it worked also. Which it did.

Ok,
So, it all looks normal, correct?

Now use Windows explorer to look at your C drive to see what you have (folders).

Edit:
Same question last year?:

Using Windows explorer do a screenshot of the P3d files on your C drive and the P3D files on your External drive.

What fixed your problem posted last year?
