Unable to install


SCHarris

Question

I just purchased, downloaded, and tried (several times) to install Easy Creator 9 Deluxe Suite and I keep getting the error:

 

"There is not enough space on drive C:\ to extract this package."

 

I have almost 30 GB of free space on C: during the install.

 

I've disabled anti-virus & all security products and still the same thing.

Any suggestions, or what about the possibility of any switches for the install package to force extraction to a different, larger drive (like a USB2 or 1394 external HDD?)

 

Thanks!

Check your drive for errors (fast version). I ran into the same thing over the weekend helping my neighbor install a game.

 

Double click "My Computer". right click on the drive, select "properties", then "tools". Under "error checking" click "check now". DO NOT put a check in the boxes that tell it to automatically fix file system errors or to attempt to recover bad sectors.

 

Make sure that you have no programs running that write to the drive as it will make the utility to continually re-start. actually, you may want to do the check in "safe mode".

 

If the check doesn't finish (there are three phases), you have a drive error.

 

DO NOT use the error checking utility to correct your drive errors. I have never used it on any computer where it didn't completely trash the drive unless it was just a few lost clusters.
