In two steps:

1. Uninstall it

2. Reinstall it to D: from the original media

The reason is that installed programs have many references, in the registry
and elsewhere, to where they are located. If you move it , these all turn
out to be wrong and the program will not work.

There is some third-party software that looks for and supposedly change the
references for you, but in my experience none of these programs is perfect.
The safest, and best, way to do is what I recommended above.

Also note that the fact that both partitions are on the same physical drive
is completely irrelevant.

By the way, why do you want to do this?
