VS.net 2005 Installer: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation

Hi All,

I have created a VS Deployment project in VS.NET 2005. I added 75 files. Some of which a re large (>600megs). The total project size is anticpated to to be 2.2 gigs for the setup file. Upon building the project, i get the "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation" error. I have 30 gigs of space on my computer and 1 gig of ramand the install will not come close this. I have checked through the other forums and didn't find anything other then an MS expert saying is a known bug with files over 400megs. That post is 3 years old. I am hoping there is a resolution to this problem. Anybody?

Thanks,

Steve Sinclair

Do you have any partition in the hard disk? How much space do you have in the primary hard disk? I ran into this problem last year when I was using IS Express. It by default copies the setup file as it is in its original size to downloaded folder of the computer. So If the computer has only 2 GB space in C drive (very unlikly, but in our test box though), the original file as 480MB and unzipped was alomst 1.4GB and windows keep complaining it can not complete because there is no space.

My 2 cents.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. There are no partitions on the drive. I have not found a solution to this problem. Inno Setup seemed to work in the interim, but I want to use the msoft installer.

I'll keep looking around and thanks for your resonse.

Steve,

I will be building a clickonce app pretty soon which has all your project characteristics. I will keep you posted on how it goes.

Thanks.
