Issues installing software on SSD

I have an SSD split into two partitions: a 125 GB C drive and an 85 GB E drive. Up until now, I’ve kept everything—macOS and all my software—on the C drive, leaving the E drive completely empty.
Now, when I try to install a program onto the E partition, the installer refuses and claims that the E drive is the root directory. What does that actually mean, and how do I fix this?

Thanks

When you're running the installer, just switch the drive letter from C to E—leave the other one alone and you should be good to go. That’s basically what I do whenever I'm installing games onto my hard drive... for example, I just swap out the C for an E and hit install. It works the same way for pretty much any program, so that's it.
