Program Installation problems in w2k revisited

Recommended Posts

To elaborate on what the french dude said. W2k has a constant hang up with installing programs. Does it have a limit to the size of your temp directory? So many times when installing a prog I get a message saying something like "installation unable to continue, please free up more space on your hard drive" which is bull****, I have 13 gigs or so free. Also, when installing some programs (eg: intellipoint software 3.2)after the initial extraction of the temp files w2k runs the wrong executable from the temp directory!

Someone is hiring gardeners to do the programming at M$.

Can't say I've had any of the issues you have mentioned.

I also know for a fact that Intellipoint 3.2 installs without any issues what so ever as I installed it myself on my PC.

Maybe you hired gardeners to put your machine together? :-p

You can also uncompress the file using winzip and then installing it from the extracted directory smile
