================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you run Setup for PowerPoint version 4.0 on a computer that is compressed with DoubleSpace or DriveSpace, you may receive the error message:

Setup error: Disk Full

= CAUSE =

This error occurs when the PowerPoint 4.0 Setup program copies bootstrap files to the uncompressed (host) drive. If there is not enough space on the host drive, the error message appears. Setup needs 2 megabytes (MB) of free disk space.

= RESOLUTION =

Free at least 2 MB of disk space on the host drive (drive H: by default) to allow the copying of the bootstrap files during Setup.

= MORE INFORMATION =

A compressed drive is not a real disk drive; it is a compressed volume file (CVF). A CVF is a file with read-only, hidden, and system attributes that contains a compressed drive. Each CVF is located on an uncompressed drive, which is referred to as the CVF’s host drive. A CVF is stored on the root directory of its host drive and has a filename such as Dblspace.000. By default a compressed drive (C:) is located on an uncompressed (host) drive (H:).
