Weird VS Installer interaction with phantom disk

Hi everyone ! Recently, i changed for an SSD instead of my HDD that i was using since i had my PC. I was coding on it and pretty much everything else but my OS was on a small SSD i set up the first time i had this pc too. So in the process of that 'upgrade', i wanted to re-install Visual Studio but the installer simply doesn't let me. It still 'think' the old HDD is here and i can't seem to change that in any way i know. What should i do ? One the screen shot it says that the disk D: doens't have enough space, duh , it's not even IN the computer, but it doesn't let me change that either. Am i doomed ?

In the first screen we can see the shared components section in the last input but it's disabled, i just can't change that, why ?

VS isn't open sourced, so even if anyone here wants to help, he/she has no way to know the internals.

In short, the shared componenents file is set up during the very first installation of VS in your computer. It creates a registry key with the local path that was set during the first installation. Find it, don't delete it simply modifiy where u cant it to be installed, and give it a go !
