If you don't have enough free disk on your C: drive(about 40Meg), the installation will fail. If you have free space on another drive, there is an easy way around this problem. Just open a dos window, and type(or run bat file); rem I can't remeber which variable it is. set TEMP=e:\w set TMP=e:\w set TMPDIR=e:\w cdk.exe This will expand the files in TEMP(e:\w) then it will ask you where to install the pakage. With this method you will still require about 2Meg of free on your C: drive, since the intallation(not the expand) uses c:\windows\temp directory as a working storage. This is the procedure I used since I ran out of space on my C: drive, and had to install the pakage on another drive. Hope this helps, David - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
