6061.0. "KEA!: "Can't create C:\KEATEMP" message" by USPS::FPRUSS (Frank Pruss, 202-232-7347) Sun Jun 01 1997 15:13

    If you have an KEA! V4.12 CD for NT, here is a gothcha to watch out
    for.
    
    I just tried to install on my new MIATA and kept getting a message that
    it could not create a temporary installation directory C:\KEATEMP.
    
    Turns out that this kit can't deal with a disk that has more than 2.0
    Gb free space.  It thinks its a negative number.
    
    I had to "fill up" 1.5 Gb of space before the install worked!  I wonder
    if it would have been safe to just extend my pagefile.sys to 2 Gb?

6061.1BUSY::SLABAudiophiles do it 'til it hertz!Mon Jun 02 1997 08:414
    
    	Maybe it uses 1.2G or 1.5G as a reference and subtracts the free
    	space from that.
6061.2Disk Space Low, better install more stuff!USPS::FPRUSSFrank Pruss, 202-232-7347Mon Jun 02 1997 08:562
    I also find Quicken Home Inventory telling me my free space is
    extremely low ...

    had the same problem as in .0, problem was that the disk you need is
    
    D:\KEATEMP  not  C:\KEATEMP
    
    this was on windows-nt 4.0

I've seen this problem with 16-bit setup.  The setup program for 
Digital Printserver Software on Windows NT has the same problem.

6061.5Using D:\keatemp gave me the hint...USPS::FPRUSSFrank Pruss, 202-232-7347Mon Jun 02 1997 18:237
    It was using d:\keatemp help figure out what the real problem was. 
    That just got past the first part of the KEA! set up dance.  After
    starting an install w/ d:\keatemp, the installer checked disk space and
    reported back that it could not proceed saying I had some -400 Mb free
    space and it needed some 8 Mb.
