Hi All, A little frustrated tonight. After rushing home to install by new AAS (my order was back-ordered 2 weeks), I can not get it loaded. I have tried loading it several times via the CD, met with a failure message, deleted the directory, deleted the animator.ini file and cleaned up the win.ini file, only to reinstall with a different failure …. the last time I tried only the first option (the functional program) and it failed. All failure are due to failure to write to tmp files: OLE0C06.TMP IND2716.TMP IND245.TMP …(or IND2457.TMP) COM050F.TMP I never have had this sort of problem with other software and I have lots. I have KPT already could that cause the problem? Where are these tmp files made/written? I still have 700MB free on that drive. This PC is a P5-60 w/ 16 MB RAM, installation is via CD-Rom. Ideas folks? jhg

John, How much hard drive space is free in the drive where Windows is installed? Jh

Hi Jeremy, Your close …. I figured it out today drive d: is 1.3GB with 600MB free (installation site) but the tmp file were written to drive c:, which only had 2.2MB free, thus the tmp files ran out of space Thanks jhg

John, Take a look at where set temp= directory is pointing. Make sure you've got your temp file set to somewhere with plenty of space. –marK
