Description dmladek 2004-09-01 09:08:17 UTC
current dev (4.0) builds
========================

if you don't have enough space on system disk,
usualy on C:  you could use cmdline option
-is:tempdir pointing to another partition with
sufficient disk space.

But on WinNT and Win98 (and maybe 95 and ME) it
doesn't pass this argument to bunbdled JDK
installer, only to InstallShield, so on those
mentioned MS platforms user needs much more space
then on eg winXP/2000
Comment 1 mslama 2004-09-01 09:15:48 UTC
Workaround is to set TMP and TEMP at command prompt from which
jdkbundle installer is started or set change these environment
variables globaly. (It is necessary for JDK installer which is run
from jdkbundle installer.)
Comment 2 mslama 2004-09-01 12:31:48 UTC
JDK installer uses about 50MB (42MB) in TEMP dir so this is not
severe. InstallShield uses for bundled JVM about 120MB (116MB) so
using -is:tempdir can save this space on system drive (where TEMP is
located by default) for installation.
Comment 3 mslama 2005-09-08 15:59:47 UTC
Installer works on Win NT if there is enough free space in temp dir and on
system disk. However as we do not support Win NT (installers) we will not fix
issues specific to Win NT. Closing as WONTFIX.

Hi, you should rather file new issue and describe more your problem. Also attach log.
