SYMPTOMS

When you install any of the applications listed above, the Setup program may determine that there is not enough disk space to complete the installation; however, the program gives you the option to continue anyway.

MORE INFORMATION

Setup is designed to allow the installation to continue because it may not be able to correctly calculate the amount of free disk space. This is especially true with compressed disk drives.

If Setup determines there is not enough disk space, the following message is displayed: 

   There is not enough disk space to complete installation. You can
   change your installation options, continue installation, or exit Setup.
This dialog box allows you to Install Now, Exit Setup, or click the Change Options button to return to the main Setup menu and select a different type of installation.
