I am exploring VS2005 C++ Express.
During the install, I selected the 3 Installation Options
[X] Graphical IDE [X] MSDN Express [X] SQL Server Express
and in the Destination Folder, it defaults to my OS E: drive:
E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\
Also showing:
Disk space requirements: E: 1.6GB
I only have about 1 Gig left on OS drive. So I change the path to my G: drive where I have 60 gigs available. Now it shows:
Disk space requirements: E: 1.4GB G: 145MB
The bulk remains on my OS drive.
Is that it 1.4GB is required on the OS drive Even if I disable MSDN and SQL, it requires 1.2GB on the E:.
Is there any way to change the storage locations I hate to go thru the efforts of moving my OS drive to an existing large drive just to explore this.
I don't understand why it is bent on using the OS drive for the main package. I can understand new system dlls, etc, but the entire package
Whats odd is that it does not tell me I don't have the space
Anyway, I'm sure its a moot issue, but if I missing something or could maybe use a different drive (backdoor command line switch maybe), that would be great. When we finally decide to get the real package, we will do it on a new machine. We are not ready for that right now.
Thanks
