office 2007 deployment without space validation

S

s.h

I tray install update from office 2003 to 2007. My MSOffice is
instaled in c:\program files\usr and 'usr' directory it is dedicated
logical volume (mounted in Program Files). On c: drive I've 800 MB
free space, on 'usr' 3 GB. I can't install office 2007 because free
space validator during instalation process calculate only space from
c: disk not from 'usr' volume and requaied space it's 1.7 GB. Can I
change instalation mode ex. no free space verification.

The fact that the office program files are installed elsewhere is
immaterial, you still need free space on C (assuming thats your sys drive)
where other parts of office will be installed, including temp files during
the process.
880mb of free space on C is whoefully inadequate even for efficient
operation of win.

C it's sys drive. I agree with your opinion that setup process
required space for temporary files, however my temp folders are
located on other disk (not c) with adequate free space (3 GB).
Any other idea ?

As far as I'm aware the office installation process will check the 'system
drive' and if there is insufficient space abort. I dont beleieve there is
anyway round that.
I do not know the actual size of the files that are installed to the sys
drive, and I'm not meaning the temp installation files.
Office2003 has some 400mb of files installed to the Program Files\Office
folder the rest are installed on the system drive
