Re: Install SP2 needs more hard disk space

Try mounting the %userprofile%\local settings\temp folder for the account
being used to install SP2 as well.

I want to install service patch 2 but the relevant computer hasn't got
enough
room. I don't have the latest partition magic to expand the partition,
nor
do I want to reinstall the operating system. I got nothing to temporarily
eliminate. It's just a barebone system for testing.

I have mounted another partition of 10G to windows\temp directory as I
believe that is where the temporary files go. I got update error. Can
somebody tell me how to go around it?
