6061.0. "KEA!: "Can't create C:\KEATEMP" message" by USPS::FPRUSS (Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347) Sun Jun 01 1997 14:13

    If you have an KEA! V4.12 CD for NT, here is a gothcha to watch out
    for.
    
    I just tried to install on my new MIATA and kept getting a message that
    it could not create a temporary installation directory C:\KEATEMP.
    
    Turns out that this kit can't deal with a disk that has more than 2.0
    Gb free space.  It thinks its a negative number.
    
    I had to "fill up" 1.5 Gb of space before the install worked!  I wonder
    if it would have been safe to just extend my pagefile.sys to 2 Gb?

	Maybe it uses 1.2G or 1.5G as a reference and subtracts the free space from that.
6061.2	Disk Space Low, better install more stuff!	USPS::FPRUSS	Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347	`Mon Jun 02 1997 07:56`	2
	I also find Quicken Home Inventory telling me my free space is extremely low ...
6061.3		TRLIAN::GORDON		`Mon Jun 02 1997 09:28`	5
	had the same problem as in .0, problem was that the disk you need is D:\KEATEMP not C:\KEATEMP this was on windows-nt 4.0
6061.4	16 bit setup program?	RDVAX::akocstdhcp104-25.ako.dec.com::levy	Run Like an Antelope	`Mon Jun 02 1997 09:38`	4
	I've seen this problem with 16-bit setup. The setup program for Digital Printserver Software on Windows NT has the same problem. dave
6061.5	Using D:\keatemp gave me the hint...	USPS::FPRUSS	Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347	`Mon Jun 02 1997 17:23`	7
	It was using d:\keatemp help figure out what the real problem was. That just got past the first part of the KEA! set up dance. After starting an install w/ d:\keatemp, the installer checked disk space and reported back that it could not proceed saying I had some -400 Mb free space and it needed some 8 Mb. FJP
