Date: Thu, 14 Aug 1997 19:42:00 -0000 Message-id: <33F3B0EE.100816DC@theshop.net> X-SW-Source: 1997-08/msg00291.html Hi, I am having a bit of difficulty getting usertools.exe from the /latest directory to install on my machine. I have twice downloaded the file and tried multiple times to install, all to no avail. Here are the facts: 1) I use RedHat Linux (kernel 2.0.30) at home. This is what I have been using to ftp the usertools.exe file. 2) I use tar on my Linux machine to put the file onto 3 diskettes. 3) I use Windows NT 4.0 FixPack 3.0 at work. (Intel Pentium 166, 32Mb Ram, 1.6Gb HD with almost 600Mb free space. NTFS Filesystem) 4) I am using djtar (tar utility distributed with djgpp compiler since I can't find one for WinNT) to untar the file from the diskettes. -- To this point everything seems to be going ok -- 5) I run usertools.exe. The Install Shield dialog box appears telling me that it is copying the install files I need. 6) The progress bar reaches approximately 43% then stops and displays an error. 7) The error text is: "Failed to uncompress %s. There may not be enough free space in the TEMP directory" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NOTE: I believe this to be the exact wording, however, the actual message my say "copy") As I noted in fact 3, I have approximately 600Mb of free space on my drive. To my knowledge, there isn't a way to allocate space to a specific directory. Even if your file is compressed 90% (ie is 10% of it's original size) the largest it should become is approximately 40Mb. (The download is approximately 4Mb). So I should have enough room (I think) to continue the install. I have read the read me concerning the installation of the tools. Is there anything else I can do or try either in configuration or use a different file (ie not B18) to install this?? Or is there a way I can get the files outside of your SFX file??? (ie, is there a way I can manually install this, not using your installation program???) Thanks for your help, I am looking forward to using these tools.
