Hi, What I can imagine is the following: Some C++ redistributables. Please try a parallel installation (start the installer with the option "/a"). [ I was double clicking D:\Downloads\LibreOffice_4.1.5_Win_x86.msi How do I add option /a? ] This is not a installation, bit an extraction. If you have questions, please ask :) [ "Installation" | "extraction" ? Are you saying that what I'm doing should be called an extraction or that option /a makes it an extraction? I think somebody stated that if extracted rather than installed, the new version would NOT be invoked by double clicking a document (e.g. pizzalog.ods). I selected a "Typical" setup. My first indication of trouble is a window titled "LibreOffice 4.1.5.3 - Installation Wizard" that says Out of Disk Space …. The highlighted volume is C:. The display now says that volume has 188MB available but needs 779MB. I clicked OK (the only option) and got a Custom Setup window with the same title. Under "Optional Components -> Dictionaries" I deselected French and Spanish leaving only English. Under "Additional user interface languages I deselected English (South Africa) and English (United Kingdom) leaving only English (United States). The required space on C: was reduced to 762MB which was still far too much. I should add that 1168KB was required on D: to this point. My next step was to "Change" the "Install to" Folder name from C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4\ to D:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4\ which changed the requirements on C: and D: to 427MB and 335MB respectively. I see no way to reduce the space required on volume C: any further. Ideally I want to eliminate it altogether but I recognize that this is an imperfect world and that Windows does not improve on that observation. ] Sorry for reply-all. /me on mobile.... [ Yes.

Do you have used already methods to get more free place on drive C? [The cleanup to which I referred performed at least the first two of these.] Empty trash. Empty all temp or tmp folders. [I will have to look up how to do the next one for FireFox.] Empty the cache of your browser and/or move the location for the cache of you browser to drive D. [All of this misses my point which is that the installer requires space on one specific volume (I.e. on C:) and that this disk usage apparently cannot be redirected to another volume (e.g. D:). It looks like I might be able to migrate one application (Pegasus Mail) from volume C: to volume D:. That's simply a work-around — not a fix for the basi c problem.] [ ----->8====== ] Kind regards Regina -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
