Updating to X2 Mr2 Sp1

[billet]

I've run into a little problem trying to update my X2Mr1 to X2Mr2SP1.I am installing it on the "D" partition of my pc."C" partition has 1.2 GB free space and "D" has Way more than that available! Every time I try to install it,it bombs out telling me I'm out of drive space on "C".What the heck is going on????

Are you installing the web download?

 

I'm just guessing but it might be trying to decompress file prior to installation & there is not enough room to decompress the files.

Yes it is the web download,but I downloaded it to a folder on our LAN and then I click on the .exe to install it from there.

I would still assume that it decompresses to a local temp folder.

 

e.g.

C:Documents and SettingsChuckLocal SettingsTemp

Is there any way to change that? Maybe to the "D" drive partition.

Create any directory that you wish to be used as windows temp directory.

 

 

1. Create a Directory under root eg: D:Temp

 

2. Right Click on My Computer icon from the desktop and goto properties page.

 

3. Go to Advanced tab sheet, you will find "Environment Variables" button at the bottom of the tab sheet, click it.

 

4. Set the "TEMP" & "TMP" variables to point to your folder. (I have TEMP & TMP setting under user & system variables just to be safe I would move both sets to your folder)

 

5. Reboot your PC.

I have TEMP & TMP setting under user & system variables just to be safe I would move both sets to your folder) What do you mean by this statement?

[3rdstring]

If you look at the Environment Variables window, there are two sets of variables, System Variables & User variables. I was just trying to say that you should point the TEMP & TMP variables in both sets to the folder you created on your D drive.
