Microsoft Plus! Requires Minimal Space on Windows 95 Drive (143257)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q143257 SYMPTOMS
When you try to install Microsoft Plus! on a hard disk other than the hard
disk on which Windows 95 is installed, you may receive the following error
message:
There is not enough disk space to complete installation. You can
change your installation options, continue installation, or exit
Setup.
You may receive this message even if there is enough room on the hard disk
to install Microsoft Plus!.
CAUSE
When you install Microsoft Plus! on a hard disk other than the hard disk
on which Windows 95 is installed, Microsoft Plus! Setup uses approximately
18 megabytes (MB) of space on the hard disk on which Windows 95 is
installed. This space is used for temporary files that are removed when
Setup is finished, and for additional files that remain on the hard disk
after Setup is finished. These additional files can include .dll, .vxd,
.inf, .exe, .cur, .ani, .scr, .hlp, and .cnt files.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, remove files from the hard disk on which
Windows 95 is installed so that there is at least 18 MB of free space on
the hard disk. If you cannot remove enough files to create 18 MB of free
hard disk space, you may be able to reduce the size or change the location
of the Windows swap file. For information about modifying swap file
settings, view the "Reserving disk space for extra memory" topic in
Windows 95 Help, or see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
