F1RS install problem

by Richard Wesseli » Fri, 02 Oct 1998 04:00:00

Can anyone help me?

I can't install F1RS.

the install starts fine, but at the end the following messages appear:

"DirectX requires a minimum of 15MB of free disk space to ensure
correct installation"

then:

"the setup ran out of disk space during install. Please delete
unnecessary files"

"installation failed"

after this the program automatically uninstalls again.

I don't understand why this happens, since I have plenty of disk space
available, over 100MB more as necessary.

I'm pretty puzzled by this.

Do you have multiple hard drives?
Before attempting to install F1, how much free space do you have on the
drive exactly?

Sounds as if your tmp or windows\tmp file is full of "installation"
files that didn't get deleted properly after an installation attempt.
Try emptying it and see if you can't get F1RS installed.
