Problem running eecutables from hard drive

When I try to install saved program updates to Office 97 by launching them
from my hard drive I get the following message:

Error:

Setup could not find a drive with [xxxkb] free disk space to install the
program. Please free up some space first and retry or press cancel to exit
setup.

As an experiment I transferred the files to a flash drive. When run from
that location they installed with no problem.

I then tried to install a large update to Paint Shop Pro 7 from the hard
drive and I got the following message:

Error:

The file C:\Winnt\System32\msvcp60.dll is in use and cannot be installed.
Please exit all other applications and retry. Press Ignore to not install
the file and Abort to cancel the installation.

I transferred that update to the flash drive as well, but this time the
message error message was repeated.

Installing programs from CD works fine.

Not sure if this is a factor, but in addition to my usual buggering around,
yesterday I upgraded the memory on the laptop from 1gb to 2gb. The upgrade
used the correct module and was within the stated capacity for the machine
(2gb).

What's going on here? How can I fix this?
