Visual Basic displays the following message during setup if there is less
382K of space in version 2.0 or less than 330K of space in version 1.0
available to Windows on the drive where Windows resides -- which may be
different from the drive where you are installing Visual Basic.
Error - Insufficient disk space on: C:\WINDOWS
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
At first, SETUP.EXE for Visual Basic copies the files VBSETUP.EXE and
VBRUN100.DLL into the Windows subdirectory. If there is not enough space on
the drive where Windows resides (such as in C:\WINDOWS), Visual Basic will
display the error.
This is the disk space available to Windows just before setup. This may
differ from the amount of space reported at the MS-DOS command prompt
outside of Windows because of temporary files that Windows creates during
operation.
VBSETUP.EXE is deleted when setup is completed. VBRUN100.DLL is copied over
to the Visual Basic subdirectory, but is not deleted from the Windows
subdirectory.
