Although I do have 72GB free on my drive I get the following message when trying to install the newest 7.5 windows version:
“You do not have enough free space to install to this location”

I made shure that both the install location and the common software location point to that drive.

It claims I have only 520.0B free. I have mepty recycle bin even though that only freed up a couple of GB.

Any help?

Thanks,
Alberto

Alberto,

Can you give me few more details regarding your system configuration, what is the OS, how much RAM, how many drives and how much free space? If you have 72G of free space, you shouldn’t have any problem. Can you clear temp folder?

Hi Joy,
thanks for looking into this. I agree with 72GB free I should not have problems. The os is a windows xp laptop with 4GB memory. I have appended the print out from computer manager. I also cleared the temp folder and tried again. Now I am getting the same message but an estimate of 24.0B free. The hard drive is a 140GB disk as I mentioed 72GB are free.

Alberto,

Thank you for the details. Your issue is pretty unique.
Are you able to hit the configure button on the installer and choose a different directory? Are you seeing this error everytime you start the installer. Can you try one more thing clear your temp folder, a quick way to do that would be go to Start > Run prompt. Type %temp% and hit [Enter] key. This will open the temp folder. (please ensure you don’t have any running applications). Review and delete all from temp folder.

In case the above doesn’t help, can you attach a screenshot. I would recommend you to send a mail to support@genuitec.com and attach screenshot of the said problem. Please add a reference to this thread and also add ATTN:Joy in the subject line. This will ensure quick tracing.

Thank you for your patience.

I have the same problem (90 Gb free and error message for “You do not have enough free space to install to this location”)

I have tried the support suggestions in this case without success.

Please come back to me

Regards
Martin

Martin,

Acknowledging receipt of your email. But the attachments didn’t come through. Please resend the attachments. Please ensure you have enough space in your c:\ as MyEclipse copies certain common files to c:\program files\Genuitec.

Best.

Same goes here…

I have installation problems with MyEclipse 8.x Stable (8.0 GA)
I continually get “You do not have enough free space to install to this location.” even if I have enough disk space.
See the following screen cast video for more details: http://screencast.com/t/OGE5MDMxZWMt

Best regards,
Peter

Peter,

We just released a new and customizable installer call “MyEclipse Your Way” that is the first option on our download page for MyEclipse 8.5. With that, you can get a fully customized version of MyEclipse so you only download what you need. And, it doesn’t have any temp space requirements which might be what’s tripping up the all-in-one installer. Can you give that a try?
