Preparing the installation environment

The installer uses a temporary location during the installation process. The default temporary location on Windows is defined in the system environment variables and is usually set to C:\temp.

If there is not enough available space in the default temporary location, the installer may not start, or it may start, but notify you that there is not sufficient space available. Do one of the following:

StepsInstalling in a temporary directory other than the default

  1. Open a Command Prompt window and enter:

    setup -is:tempdir <full path to alternate temp directory on a different hard drive>
    

    For example:

    setup -is:tempdir D:\temp
    

    This command sets the temporary directory to D:\temp. This directory must exist before you execute this command; that is, the command does not create the directory for you.
