FP: Setup Requires 2-4 MB More Free Disk Space than Indicated

 Last reviewed: March 18, 1998
Article ID: Q169180
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack

SYMPTOMS

During FrontPage Setup, you receive a message indicating that you do not have sufficient disk space. Specifically, the disk space required may be only slightly more--about 2 to 4 megabytes (MB)--than what you have available.

CAUSE

The FrontPage Setup program sets aside some extra buffer space in its calculation of required disk space. This allows FrontPage Setup to reserve space for temporary files that are required during Setup. The FrontPage Setup program also reserves extra space because some larger hard disks use a larger cluster size that requires more physical space to store the same amount of data as a hard disk with a smaller cluster size.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, make sure you have at least 2 to 4 MB of additional free hard disk space than indicated by the FrontPage Setup program.
