SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
 * You are using a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows XP.
 * You install a Microsoft Windows Installer product on a non-system drive.
 * You use quiet mode to install a hotfix.

In this scenario, the PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining property is not set. If you use a custom action that relies on the PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining property being set correctly, the custom action fails and causes the hotfix installation to fail.

Technical support for x64-based versions of Microsoft Windows
Your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for x64-based versions of Windows. Your hardware manufacturer provides support because an x64-based version of Windows was included with your hardware.

Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with your x64-based version of Windows. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware.
