Changing the default Location installation for Windows Live Messen

I want to install the latest Windows Live Messenger default location path and
NOT have it go to by default into my Local C:\, but rather in another
partition, in this example my D:\ on my laptop to save room on the default
Local C:\ drive.

When I begin the installation of the latest version of Live messenger, it
does not provide the option of where I want to install it but assumes the
Local C:\ drive.

How can I change the default location for Windows Live Messenger in another
place other than my Local C:\ drive?

Thank you...

Greetings,

What you can do is simply let it install to C and then move the folder over to D after
installing. You'll have to make a new shortcut of course.
