okay. this is ridiculous.
Wanting to try out LibreOffice for work, instead of MS Office, but EVERY SINGLE TIME we try to install it, it defaults to trying to install to the DVD Drive, E: .
We try to tell it to change drive, it throws up an error saying "Not enough space on Drive E!" like, YEAH, IT'S A DVD DRIVE, WITH NO DISC IN IT, OF COURSE THERE ISN'T, LET ME CHANGE INSTALL DRIVE. but no, it immediately closes the installer as if I'd told it to cancel. which is bullshit.
SO THEN I got the bright idea of disabling the DVD Drive. It can't try and install to a drive that the system thinks doesn't exist right?
...nope
LibreOffice still gives it a shot, and now won't even let me change directory. like why the fuck are you trying to install there, and why the fuck won't you let me change drive. fuckssake.
@Nine Check these registry entries to see if they're messed up;

@salith We eventually got it working by ... disabling the DVD drive, then reassigning Drive E to the drive we wanted it installed on ._.; then changing it back after. haha. it works, but... libreoffice has some odd behaviours with certain fonts it seems
