Re: SP3 install space problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks to both JS and Gerry-

I had deleted some programs and ran a lot of the cleanup suggested, but not
all, and I had not moved some of the default folders as suggested. I will
to that next.

One worthwhile comment was that during the installation of the service pack,
more than one restore point is generated. I did note that things were going
along merrily, nearing what I thought was the end, and all of a sudden the
available space on the drive dropped dramatically.

I'll do the things suggested, do a cleanup with the downloaded cleanup
program available from Microsoft and see just what happens.

Thanks again,

DAW

I am limited to 8 GB on my C: drive because I have to be able to boot Unix
from within the first 1024 virtual cylinders.

I generraly can get around 1GB free on drive :

SP3 install runs to near completion but then reports a space problem and
then does a full self un-install-

I always install programs on my other very large drives, but some must go
in C:

1. What files can I safely relocate temporarily during SP3
installation?

or

2. Is there a way to use another drive to handle part ov the install
process?

Thanks,

DAW
