Beta 2 Technical Refresh (B2TR) Install Error pcuser 30.09.2006 18:09:02 I have Office 2007 Beta 2 installed on my D: partition. Windows is installed on my C: partition, which has only 280MB left on it. The D: drive has many GBs of space left. I want to install the Tech Refresh to the D: drive, just as B2 is currently installed there. Steps Taken: 1. Download B2TR 2. Run installer 3. Accept License Agreement After accepting the agreement, a message appears stating that there is 'insufficient space' and the installer terminates. (No surprise...the C: drive is packed and I don't want to install it there.) Is there a way around this, or a force install using command prompt? -- Custom Built XP SP2 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, 128MB PCI XPRESS, 3.2GHz H-T

Re: Beta 2 Technical Refresh (B2TR) Install Error "Bob Buckland ?:-\)" <75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com> 30.09.2006 22:32:56 Hi Kid, The MS Windows Installer that Office uses needs most of the space used for the temp files and for caching (storing) the patch files after install to be on the Windows drive. If your %temp% and %tmp% variables are pointed to another drive using the set= command on PC startup then perhaps 25% of the 2GB minimum listed under system requirements for updating to MS Office 207 Beta 2 to Beta 2 Technical Refresh will use the non-Windows drive, but otherwise you may need to repartition the drive, install an addiitional drive that is the one that hosts Windows or use a Virtual PC installation, although with 512MB of RAM the VPC would probably not be an enjoyable option.

Re: Beta 2 Technical Refresh (B2TR) Install Error pcuser 30.09.2006 23:50:01 My %temp% and %tmp% are at their defaults, on the C: partition.
