I posted this in the MSDN forums, but nobody has replied yet, so I thought I'd post it here.
I have Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. I have a system partition
which is 8GB (D:). I have a separate partition for programs and documents (E:).
I also have a big scratch partition (F:). My temporary directory is on the F:
drive.
Currently, the D: drive has about 100MB of free disk space. Since
only system components are installed here and my swap file is on a separate
partition, this is enough space. The E: drive has about 25GB free. The F: drive
has about 30GB free.
When I run the Windows Vista / .NET Framework 3.0
SDK setup, it asks me for two folder locations. One for the SDK files and
another for SDK samples. I set both to directories on the E: drive. When I go to
the next step, it says I need 600MB+ on my D: drive in order to continue. I went
back and made sure both of my selected directory locations were on E:.
Unfortunately, the SDK still demands 600MB+ of my system drive. I have gone
through my D: drive to find stuff I can delete and I still am not even close to
having enough room. Why is the installer demanding space from the system
drive? Is there a way I can work around this?
