.netframework error

Question

So I am trying to install the .netframework 4, and getting an extaction file error.  When I go to install the program, it states:

Extracting Files:

There is not enough disk space on your drive for the new files to be uncompressed and installed.  Please run this application again after you have freed some space on your drive.

I have more than 200 GBs free on my C drive.  

Answer 1

Hi BrandonBartholomew,

When Extracting Files is displayed which Drive Letter is Displayed.  i think it is not extracted in "C" Drive.

Check Drive Letter in Extracting Window and may be there is not enough space available.

did you try to Setup "Run As Administrator" ?

Regards,

Gautam

Answer 2

Yeah it is extracting to C...and I checked all my other drives, and they have more than enough space.

Answer 3

What is your Windows version and Service Pack level?

If you have XP, you must have SP3 installed. If you have Vista, you must have at least SP1 installed (SP2 preferred).

You can try downloading the standalone installer:

Then extract the content yourself. Once you have the content in a folder, run setup.exe /x86 if you have 32 bit Windows, or setup.exe /x64 if you have 64 bit Windows.
