Bug number: 426395 (SQLBUDT)



SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1), an error message that resembles the following is logged in the SQLTools9_Hotfix_KB913090.log setup log file in the %systemroot%\Hotfix\SQLTools9\Logs folder:

04/11/2006 23:55:37.976 MSP returned 1602: The user cancels installation.

Additionally, an error message that resembles the following is logged in the SQLTools9_Hotfix_KB913090_sqlrun_tools.msp.log setup log file:

MSI (s) (14:7C) [23:55:53:631]: Unable to create a temp copy of patch ' \HotFixTools\Files\sqlrun_tools.msp'.

There is not enough space on the disk.

If there is no free disk to extract the setup package, you receive the following error message and SQL Server Setup stops responding:

Unable to find a volume with enough disk space for file extraction.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Setup program does not implement an effective disk space check when you run the Setup program. The Setup program needs approximately 1 GB of free disk space to run the Setup program. If the free disk space is insufficient, the setup is not successful.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, you must free at least 1 GB disk space before you run the Setup program.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
