SUMMARY

When you run the Setup program for one of the applications listed above, you do not see any information about how much disk space is available or required on your hard drive unless you choose the Custom/Complete installation option.

When you choose either the Typical, Laptop (Minimum), or Workstation installation options, the Setup program installs the appropriate files without displaying information about how much hard disk space is available or required on the drive to which you are installing the application.

WORKAROUNDS

To display the amount of disk space available on the drive to which you are installing the application, do the following:

  1. Run the Setup program. Enter your name and company as prompted.

  2. In the dialog box that contains the installation options, choose the Complete/Custom button.

    The Complete/Custom dialog box displays the disk space available on the drive to which you are installing the application. This dialog box also displays the disk space required for each of the applications components.

  3. Choose Cancel to return to the dialog box that displays the installation options.
