The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

During the process of installing the Windows 3.1 Software Development Kit (SDK), no files are copied to the destination hard disk.

CAUSE

The hard disk does not have enough free space. Although the amount of hard disk space required varies depending on the components installed, from 9.6 to 24.3 (MB) megabytes are required. The installation program requires 4 additional MB for scratch space.

RESOLUTION

Delete files to create free hard-disk space.

MORE INFORMATION

The disk space requirements may preclude installing version 3.1 of the Windows SDK over a previous version of the Windows SDK. If so, delete the previous version of the Windows SDK, then install the Windows SDK version 3.1.

For more information on installing the Windows SDK version 3.1, including an article that provides the recommended installation procedure, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
