SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Train Simulator, you may receive an error message similar to the following:

Full install requires 0 mb to install.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the drive on which you install the program does not have enough space for the program.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, free up the proper amount of hard drive space to install the program. Or, if possible, install the program on a different drive that has the proper amount of space.

You can use the Disk Cleanup tool to free up space on your hard drive. If this method does not free up enough space, you may need to uninstall any unwanted programs.

Run Disk Cleanup
Use Disk Cleanup to remove Temporary files, Temporary Internet files, and to empty the Recycle Bin. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
 * 2) In the Drives box, click the hard disk on which you want to install the program, and then click OK.
 * 3) Under Files to delete, click to select the Temporary Internet Files check box, the Recycle Bin check box, and the Temporary files check box, and then click OK.
 * 4) Click Yes.
 * 5) When the Disk Cleanup tool is finished, restart the computer, and then install the game.

If this method does not free up the space that is needed for a full installation, proceed to the next method.

Use Custom Installation to Limit Routes
To do a custom installation and limit the number of routes that are installed with the game, follow these steps:
 * 1) Insert the installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive, and then follow the onscreen instructions until the Default Installation Options page is displayed.
 * 2) Click Customize installation options, and then click the right arrow in the lower-right corner of the window.
 * 3) Click Custom, and then click the right arrow in the lower-right corner of the window.
 * 4) Click to remove the x in front of the routes that are listed.

NOTE: The space that is required is listed on the right side of this window. As you remove routes, this number decreases. Keep removing routes until it shows the amount of space your system has available. The routes that you remove are not available in the game.
 * 1) After you select the routes that you want to remove, click the right arrow in the lower-right corner of the window, and then follow the onscreen instructions for the rest of the installation process.
