Problem of Free Space During Installation on Windows Vista

When installing a full or a test version on Windows Vista, a message indicating insufficient free space appears? What should I do?

Answer:

The capacity of your C: drive does not allow the installation of the program. You should choose another partition of your hard drive for the installation. You can proceed as follows:

  • Start by displaying the "Run" command from the Start menu by clicking Start → Run (or Windows+R).
  • Tapez regedit et validez
  • Open the key: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
  • On the right, double-click the ProgramFilesDir et modifiez les données de cette clé par le nouveau chemin du dossier d'installation.
  • Entrez par exemple le chemin D:\Program Files pour changer la partition sur laquelle l'installation se fera.
  • Finally, restart the software installation by double-clicking the icon.
