PRB: Insufficient Disk Space Error When Setup Copies Files

• Standard and Professional Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows, versions 2.0 and 3.0
• Microsoft Visual Basic programming system for Windows, version 1.0

SUMMARY

If you receive an "Insufficient disk space" error message when running Visual Basic's Setup program, it may be caused by using Windows with a temporary Windows swap file instead of the permanent Windows swap file.

MORE INFORMATION

Pages 520 through 529 in the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" version 3.0 manual discuss Windows swap files. Permanent swap files are contiguous so that your disk does not contain files in fragmented pieces, which may happen if you are using temporary swap files. Temporary Windows swap files may grow in size, which may cause the "Insufficient disk space" error during the execution of Visual Basic's Setup program. However, permanent Windows swap files will not change in size, so using permanent Windows swap files may help to avoid the "Insufficient disk space" error.
