I was running a setup file on my computer and it requires about 800mb and the drive i am trying to install it too has more that 7gb. But each time I try to install my main drive seems to take up space instead which doesnt have the space required for it. How can I stop that from happening?
You may not but you can give this a try.
Make a folder on the larger drive. Lets call it F:\TEMP2. The name is not important.
Windows has defined temp folders on C: that the program may just be using during install. So if you can change that,you might just move where its going.
Right click My Computer|Properties|Advanced|Environment Variables|
You'll see both user and system environment variables.
There are TEMP and TMP variables in both.
The User is normally pointed to C:\documents and settings\user\local settings\temp and the system is C:\windows\temp.
I would take a gamble that if you changed those paths for the point of the install and then rebooted, the install would run.
Write down the old settings. I'd put them back personally.
