SYMPTOMSWhen you install Office, the following error message appears: The dialog box displays hard disk space information and your only option is to click OK. CAUSEYou receive this message when any of the following conditions is true:
WORKAROUNDTo work around this issue, use any of the following methods, as appropriate. Method 1: Install Microsoft Office to Another DriveBy default, the installation location for Office is the drive where your operating system is installed; however, you may be able to install Office to a location on another drive. To do this, follow these steps:
Method 2: Free More Hard Disk Space on the Installation Location and Windows DriveBefore continuing with the installation of Office, free more hard disk space on the computer, either on the drive you specified to install Office, or on the drive where the operating system is installed. For example, an installation of Microsoft Office 2000 Premium with the typical components will need approximately 270 MB of free disk space. This is approximately 138 MB of disk space required on the drive where Windows is installed, and 132 MB of disk space on the drive where Office is installed.Method 3: Customize Your Microsoft Internet Explorer InstallationA typical installation of Microsoft Office 2000 Premium requires approximately 138 MB of free space on the volume where Windows is installed, even if Office is installed to an alternate volume. Part of this space requirement is for Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (approximately 78 MB). Internet Explorer installs to the volume where Windows is installed by default. By installing Internet Explorer before Office, Internet Explorer can be installed to a volume other than the drive volume where Windows is installed. This requires less free space on the volume where Windows is installed, and may allow for the installation of Office to an alternate volume.To install Microsoft Internet Explorer to an alternate volume before installing Microsoft Office, follow these steps:
You can also minimize the disk space required on the drive volume where Windows is installed by customizing Office Setup to not install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0. To avoid upgrading to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 when installing Office, follow these steps:
MORE INFORMATIONOffice also installs other items, in addition to Internet Explorer, on the volume where Windows is installed. This may include fonts, shared dynamic-link library (.dll) files, and other necessary system files. Space requirements vary based on the Office product being installed and on your computer's configuration.
