In addition, the C drive is typically the system drive, and the MSI will be cached there, and all registry entries relating to the install will also need to be recorded on the C drive.<br \/>\nIf there are any DLLs to be installed on the system partition, space will be required for this also.<br \/>\nConsequently, removing the space check for the C drive would be risky, to say the least, and I don&#8217;t think you could achieve this without disabling space checking on all volumes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>msiexpert created the topic: Checking Disk Space on the C Drive.
