Hi I am trying to install the devstudio but getting message saying Not enough space in C drive, while I can check I have sufficient space (100+ GB ).
Please suggest if any one has faced similar issue.

I have tried following:
1. We uninstalled Developer Studio 7.6.11 on my PC as well as Tomcat 5.5,
deleted all related directories/files and registry entries and rebooted the PC.
2. We then tried installing DS 8103 and we had issues then we download version
8104 instead as the WFC is 8104.
3. Note after downloading the file, it?s properties need to be checked and
option ?unblock? needs to be unchecked.
4. We still had issues with this version and the issue seems to be when it tries
to extract the contents of the DS executable. It gives error ?there is not enough disk space on C: drive? even though there is over 100 GB free disk space.
We also tried using a directory other than temp for the extracts, but no joy.


Regards,
Vivek

Gosh, is that bug still in the installer?
Perhaps that's the 32-bit installer? I don't recall seeing the issue with the 64-bit version and I have 365GB of free space here. Then again... see below.

The problem seems to be that the result of the free-space calculation ends up in an integer field that does not fit the value and as a consequence it wraps.
I guess the reason I didn't run into the issue might have been that with enough free space that wrapped value can become a high enough value again.

I don't remember how I worked around it last time, but what should help is to create a big temporary file so that your free space is at a size "manageable" by the installer.

I do hope that they at least used an unsigned 32-bit integer, in which case the max free space value is 4GB (enough for the install) and the free space calculation result wraps to something under the 2-3 GB needed for the install.
If that's the case, it should help to create a temporary file of, say, 1GB and try again. If it complains about the free space again, copy that 1GB file and try again. Perhaps you even need 3 copies. Never a 4th though, as then you're back at the wrapping point - if that's needed you probably need to retry with a smaller file (say 512MB).

Final note - At least do what I omitted to: Open a case.

I had the same issue last week trying to install 8.1.4. I ended up extracting it out using 7zip and running the install.exe.

My attempt was unsuccessful. It screwed up both of my versions of DS, so I ended up removing all and just re installing my 8008 version.

Sorry I am no help, but I as well got the same space error when trying to install.

I've had this problem for years. I've successfully used 7-Zip. I think it's the only solution.

The issue has been resolved by extracting the setup.exe file with winzip and then executing the same.

I am new to WebFocus...so apologies for not being 100% accurate with my references to the WF products and installer components.

I am running into the same issue ('There is not enough disk space on drive C:\ to extract the package') when running just the App Studio 8.1.04 stand-alone installation ('WfAppStudio8104.exe'), so there is no 'Setup.exe' to unzip or run.

I too have plenty of available disk space on my C:\ drive (347 GB available) on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit OS.

I thought about plugging in a SSD/USB thumb drive and mounting it with a size close to the minimum 3.5 GB install requirement but maybe not 'overwhelm' the installer with too much available disk space but didn't have one available.

Instead, I created a 5.0 GB virtual disk (mounted as V:\ drive) to see if I could point the installer temp files to save the install files that drive (V:\ibi_Temp\ folder).

Same error.

The only thing I can think of to get past it is to attempt running the WebFocus installer and only select the 'App Studio' install and see if I can et to the 'setup.exe' file everyone is referring to.

It has nothing to do with the amount of available space on a drive. There's something wrong with how the exe is created. Try installing open source 7-Zip , then right-click on the .exe and select one of the Extract options.

Thanks Francis. I saw a posting that mentioned the disk space issue may have been related to a data type (integer) possibly contributing to the issue when reporting the disk space.

Also, I thought the exe was a compiled executable not a 'zipped' file format so 7-Zip wasn't viable, so thanks for clarifying.

I downloaded 7-Zip and extracted the files (yes, a 'setup.exe' was there ) and ran it and the install ran successfully.

Many thanks!

I just cannot believe they haven't done anything about this problem for years - it's like no one from IBI is reading this forum. They seem to require us to open a Tech Support case every time we come upon a stumbling block, when in fact, its quicker to find a workaround.

Congrats on installing on v8.1.04. Now we'll all be interested on your progress...

I had this problem yesterday. I rebooted my computer and then it installed correctly.
