SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install Microsoft Office to certain removable drives, you may receive the following error message:

Setup needs 900 kb of free diskspace to install Microsoft Office successfully

This message is not necessarily an accurate indication of the amount of free disk space available on the target drive.

WORKAROUND
In order for Microsoft Office Setup to be completed successfully, start the Setup program manually. To manually start Microsoft Office Setup, do the following:

 Exit Windows, and, at the MS-DOS prompt, type MD ~SETUP at the root level of the C drive to create a directory. To switch to the drive that contains Disk 1 of Microsoft Office, type A:, where "A" is the appropriate floppy disk drive.  If you have Microsoft Office version 4.2, decompress the following files by typing the command lines at the prompt: '''decomp _mssetup.ex_ c:\~setup\_mssetup.exe

decomp acmsetup.ex_ c:\~setup\acmsetup.exe

decomp acmsetup.hl_ c:\~setup\acmsetup.hlp

decomp mscpydis.dl_ c:\~setup\mscpydis.dll

decomp mssetup.dl_ c:\~setup\mssetup.dll

decomp xlsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\xlsetup.ttf

decomp wwsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\wwsetup.ttf

decomp excel_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\excel_bb.dll

decomp off42_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\off42_bb.dll

decomp pp4_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\pp4_bb.dll

decomp word_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\word_bb.dll

decomp setup.st_ c:\~setup\setup.stf

decomp setup.in_ c:\~setup\setup.inf

decomp odbcinst.dl_ c:\~setup\odbcinst.dll''' If you have Microsoft Office version 4.3, decompress the following files by typing the command lines at the prompt: '''decomp _mssetup.ex_ c:\~setup\_mssetup.exe

decomp acmsetup.ex_ c:\~setup\acmsetup.exe

decomp acmsetup.hl_ c:\~setup\acmsetup.hlp

decomp mscpydis.dl_ c:\~setup\mscpydis.dll

decomp mssetup.dl_ c:\~setup\mssetup.dll

decomp xlsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\xlsetup.ttf

decomp wwsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\wwsetup.ttf

decomp acsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\acsetup.ttf

decomp excel_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\excel_bb.dll

decomp off43_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\off43_bb.dll

decomp pp4_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\pp4_bb.dll

decomp word_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\word_bb.dll

decomp msacahbb.dl_ c:\~setup\msacahbb.dll

decomp setup.st_ c:\~setup\setup.stf

decomp setup.in_ c:\~setup\setup.inf

decomp odbcinst.dl_ c:\~setup\odbcinst.dll''' 

  To copy the file setup.ini from disk 1 to the temporary setup directory, type the following command line at the MS-DOS prompt: "copy setup.ini c:\~setup" After decompressing the appropriate files and copying the setup.ini file, restart Microsoft Windows.  In Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu. In the Command Line box, type the following, and then choose OK: "C:\~setup\acmsetup /T setup.stf"

Microsoft Office Setup will start and proceed normally through the setup routine.

TIP: You can create a batch file containing the above commands, and then run this batch file on individual workstations.
