You can use junction tool by Microsoft to create a REAL directory on other partition (e.g. D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0) and make a symbol link to it as C:\Program Files (x86)..., just like the command shows below, then windows will use C:\Program Fil.. as path and the real dirs/files are in D:\Prog...

junction.exe 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0' 'D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0'

Download junction tool from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx

actually some of files will install only in C drive with specific path, that we cannot change.
some of the extra fatures only will go to the customized location, so you need some space in C drive to install visual studio.
