Hardware Requirements
Installation requires a substantial amount of system memory and disk space. Review the system memory and disk space requirements before you start installation.
Disk Space
You must make sure you have enough disk space for the installer to extract the archive to, for the installer to run, and for the product to use.
- Disk Space for Installer
Archive
When you extract the contents of the installation archive to a temporary directory, the installer files consume up to 61 MB of disk space.
- Temporary Disk Space
Required by the Installer
The installer requires at least 70 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows platforms, the temporary directory typically is:
%SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp.
If your system does not have sufficient disk space in the default temporary area, you can run the installer with a different temporary directory by using the following option when starting the installer:
-is:tempdir /new_tmp
where /new_tmp has sufficient free disk space.
The installer calculates the disk space required in the product home location for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in product home location.
However, if disk space is consumed by another process while the installer is copying the files, and if the required disk space is thereby reduced, the installer may fail and will then give a failure message.
While performing installation, avoid running other processes that consume disk space in product home location.
