C drive not big enough

I am installing the X86 Executable version of SQL Server. I copied it to my desktop and clicked RUN. It extracts the files and then the Install Wizard tells me there is not enough space on the C Drive to load the program. I have 23 gigabits of free space and the program only takes about 900 megabits.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Hi Modez.

Is this Sql 2000 or Sql 2005?

Try creating a 'dummy' text file that is a few hundred mb in size or more (just create some garbage in the file and copy/paste it until the file becomes large enough), then try running the setup. If that works, you can delete the garbage file on completion.

Chad:

It is 2005. I tried making a txt. file and got the same message. Then I tried to download it again and run it from the web site instead of saving it to my desktop but it stills says my C: drive is not big enough.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
