unable to install an app to a different drive

gerjan erven · Mar 17, 2021

so i want to install forza horizon 4 but I don't have enough space on my c drive and when i try to select a different drive it won't select that its stuck on the c drive. So i tried 1 solution and that's changing where new apps were installed but when I tried that it gave me the error: 0x80070005. is there any other solution or fix because I don't want to have wasted 90 euro's

(Solution) I worked with support on this and ended up having to install game on a different drive. This is because the download got corrupted and the file is still in the downloads for the game pass app.

I was unable to delete the files in this location: DeliveryOptimization\Cache.

please try to install to a different location after updating the app. The new version coming any time allows you to designated the drive/folder to install on, and try a different location.

Alright. Please try installing the game to a different drive and see if that sorts out the issue. You can change the app installation by going to Settings > System > Storage > Change where new content is saved. Try setting that to a different drive.

That's strange. I'll see if I can find some issues of this happening with other Windows Store apps and get back to you on what I can find.

I am curious if you have another drive? Or even an external drive? I am curious if you set it to install on a different drive if you see the same issues? This might help identify if it's a Windows, Windows Store, or possibly Profile issue.

Windows Central has a pretty good guide on how to install apps to a different drive in Windows here.
