installing MS Office2000 to drive D

I would recommend that you move some programs to d: drive temporarily (to make space for the install) and then do the install, then move the c: drive stuff back.

Installing MS programs usually means that you need a certain amount of free space on the main drive... whether or not it is the installed apps' permanent location.

Another alternative might be to put in your autoexec.bat file a SET TEMP=d:\TEMP and SET TMP=D:\TEMP save and reboot, then see if you can do the install. I'm not convinced that this will work, because the install is probably going to want to look at c:\windows\temp.

Greetings,

To install Office 2000 on Windows NT 4.0, you must run Setup with elevated privileges. Elevated privileges give an installation program administrator rights to install software into system areas.

If you're not doing this, it may be your problem.

To run the installation with elevated privileges, you can use one of the following methods:

Log on to the user?s computer as an administrator before running the installation program.

Advertise the Windows Installer package. When the user first runs the application, the Windows Installer completes the installation under administrator privileges.

Use Windows system policies to allow all Windows Installer packages to install with elevated privileges.

Use Systems Management Server and run the Package Command Manager as a service on the user's computer so that it runs with administrator privileges.

Look at all the read me files on the SR-1 amd SR-2 CDs. I'm sure you'll find a lot more detailed information there.

Good luck,

Maxwell

When you install office, you choose custom install, when it asks you where you want it installed the default is C: drive. At that screen, just replace the C: with D: and that should be all that is required, don't click on the little drive icons theyhave on the screen. If this still won't work, chances are that all the .dll's that need to be in the system partition just have no room to go. Is your C: drive really that full?
Why don't you get a hold of a copy of partition magic and resize your C: drive, that might clear up alot of other problems as well.
Good luck!
