Error 1711 installing 1.1 SP1 - Not enough disk space



Error 1711 installing 1.1 SP1 - Not enough disk space Barra Sweeney

dotnet setup: When I try to install .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 on a W2K SP4 machine I get:

Error 1711 An error has occurred while writing installation information to
disk. Check that you have enough disk space.

I have 1gb free on the system partition. I can install SP1 on another
server with "only" 700mb free. Has anyone else seen this or suggest
something to check other than available disk space?

BTW, for those of you having other install problems I've found that you
should manually stop the IIS Admin and WWW services before running the SP1
install. The install can hang while stopping these and if it does you may
get a message similar to

Error 1305. Error reading from file:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\xxxxxxx.msi. Verify that
the file exists and that you can access it.

A fix for this is to install the Msizap.exe utility:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
(Also see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824643)

When you run the Msizap install for it says it has found a .NET Framework
install in progress, do you want to undo the changes. Answer yes and that
should allow you to run the SP1 install again.

Hope this helpd someone. If anyone can help me I'd be very grateful!

Do you have multiple partitions on the machine? If so, the temp directory (%temp%) or window directory (%windir%) is sitting on a partition with small free
disk space.

Can you check the above directories and see what partition(s) they are on, and see how much free space the partitions have?

Hope this helps.

Sorry I don't take feature request for WinRes: it belongs to the .NET Framework SDK. I'm a consumer of WinRes, just like you...

I'm afraid that LocStudio (when you say LS, I assume you are using LocStudio) does not have the option, and WinRes does not remember its size and
location when it was shut down.
If you are trying to call it in your own application, you can always use ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized when you start the process.

The windir and temp variables point to valid folders on C:, which has nearly
1Gb free. The error generated by the install is logged to a file in the temp
folder so it is pointing to the right place. There is another partition on
the server which only had 125mb free so I freed up 750mb on it just to make
sure but it didn't make a difference.

Thanks a lot for the reply though.

regards,
Barra
