Install error for SP1a

Sprocket - 25 Oct 2007 10:00 GMT
I've recently taken over an existing installation and am getting all the
patches and updates applied.  It's a SBS2000.  2000 SP4 has been applied but
SBS2000 SP1 has not.  I'm trying to install SP1a but I get the error message
that I need 125 meg of available space on the partition that has clientapps5
and the process aborts.  I've got 400 gig of space available so what am I
doing wrong?

Where you think the ClientApps5 folder is, and where SBS thinks the folder
is, may differ.

Do you have _any_ partitions with less than 125Mb space free?

SBS2003 has a registry key that details the location of the ClientApps
share - my suspicion would be that SBS2000 does too (but I can't be sure,
not having a working SBS2000 handy these days).

I know what you mean.  Turns out, I've forgotten too much about SBS2000.  
I've even built up a SBS2000 server to see what the default install looks
like because so much on this server is not default.  There is only 1
partition, 500 gig.  I know but that's what it is.  The clientapps5 directory
was not in the default path.  When I got this error, I created the default
path and shared it out and rebooted but that didn't help.  I remember that
some older OS had trouble when a large hard drive was presented to them but I
think that was fixed by 2000 SP4.

Yeah but just think... Steve actually 'remembered' it involved the ClientApps5 folder!  

I've forgotten more about SBS 2000 than I ever knew.  ;-)

You are the king.  I even looked for that but couldn't find it.  I did
recreate the proper share in the proper location so y'all won't think I'm a
doofus.  However, I did not edit the registry.  I'll try that tonight while
the customer is sleeping.  thanks again.
