Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You install Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) 4.5 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.

  • You try to install a Windows Installer package on this computer.

In this scenario, the installation fails, and you receive the following error message:

Disk full: Out of disk space -- Volume: <volume>; required space: <number> KB; available space: 0 KB. Free some disk space and retry.

Cause

This issue occurs because Windows Installer 4.5 incorrectly checks the installation source drive, the CD drive, the DVD drive, or the virtual optical drive that is amounted .ISO image and reports that there is no available memory. However, the drive should not be checked because this drive is not the destination drive.

Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.

Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 file information notes

Important Windows Vista hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, only "Windows Vista" is listed on the Hotfix Request page. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows Vista" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table.

    Version

    Product

    SR_Level

    Service branch

    6.0.600
    1.
    22xxx

    Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

    LDR

    6.0.600
    2.
    22xxx

    Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

    SP2

    LDR

  • Service Pack 1 is integrated into the release version of Windows Server 2008. Therefore, RTM milestone files apply only to Windows Vista. RTM milestone files have a 6.0.0000.xxxxx version number.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 and for Windows Vista" section. MUM files and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.

Workaround

Workaround for Windows Vista and for Windows Server 2008

Before you install this hotfix, try to resolve this issue by using the following workaround.

To work around this issue, do the following:

  1. Contact the product vendor to check whether the data of the installation media can be copied to a hard disk in a new folder temporarily.

  3. Run the "bootstrapper" file for the installation from the root of this new folder.

    Note The "bootstrapper" file usually has the Setup.exe file name.

Status

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
