Not enough disk space to install (I read the FAQ!)

Hi,

I'm having the same problem as several others in the past.

Trying to install Acrobat reader 5.1 (I downloaded the file several
months ago, and am not inclined to get a newer version just yet) in
one of my computers.

This laptop had win98. I just did a clean install of w2k (without
erasing the w98 files - it asks at boot time whether I want to use
windows or windows 2000, so I guess this is a multi boot pc).

This installation file had worked well in the past in other computers.

All the environment variables (system and user level) point to the
right TEMP directory.

User level points to c:\temp and System level points to c:\winnt\temp.

Still I keep getting the error about the hard disk not having enough
space in spite of having almost 5GB free.

If I did miss something in the fact, please do point out what it was
and provide a link to it. I have supported fellow users in the past in
newsgroups and am aware that it's indeed a pain in the ass to answer
the same question over and over again, but in this case, I did go to
the FAQ, followed its suggestions, and the problem is still not
resolved.

Thanks for your help and understanding (damn, I'm beginning to sound
like a nigerian). Anyway, thanks in advance!

Alex
