Summary:
PROBLEM ID: QCW9112007
SYMPTOMS
When using Microsoft QuickC for Windows (QC/Win) version 1.0, Setup
checks to ensure that there is enough available space on the disk
for the files it will copy. However, the following error message
may occur
Not enough space on \. Setup needs XXX K additional
where XXX is a variable amount.
CAUSE
This error message is caused by not specifying the drive letter in
the path to the Windows directory. For example, "path=\windows" is
used rather than "path=c:\windows".
RESOLUTION
To work around the problem, add the drive letter to the Windows
path (for example, "path=c:\windows"), or run Windows from the
D:\WINDOWS directory (where D is the drive where the Windows path
is located).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QC/Win version
1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
More Information:
To reproduce the problem:
1. Exit Windows and type the following at the MS-DOS prompt:
set path=\windows
2. Change directory to any directory other than the Windows directory,
and type "win" to enter Windows.
3. Choose Run from the File menu in the Program manager and type
A:\SETUP (where A is the drive where the Setup program exists).
4. When the Setup dialog box appears, choose OK; the above message box
will appear.
