SYMPTOMS

When you try to install a 2007 Microsoft Office suite, you may receive an error message that resembles the following error message:

CAUSE

This issue occurs when there is insufficient free space on the hard disk to store files that are required to run the Setup program.

The 2007 Office Setup program creates a local installation source. The Setup program copies the installation .cab files from the installation media to that location. If there is insufficient room to copy these files and to install the program, you cannot complete the installation.
