SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Install Error

I downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation setup .exe. When I wen to install it by clicking "SQLEVAL.EXE", I received an eror stating "There is not enough space on Drive C:\ to extract this package.

I have over 50 gig of available spac eon my C drive. What gives

When I downloaded the .exe, I had the Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect enabled. Could that have caused it Also, 2 days ago, I installed MS-Accounting 2007. Could that have caused a problem

I have seen this error posted on the SS2005 forums and the standard response is to look at the installation logs. I have no logs. The extraction never completed.

Thanks.

Check your system %temp% variable to see where it pointing. Ensure this location has enough space. Ensure the account you are running under has permissions to the folder. When we have seen problems with extraction space as you described, the temp folder is pointing to a location without enough space.

Thanks,

Peter:

How do I check the system %temp% variable Where is it

Looking at the Advanced tab, environment variables, I see that they appear to be in order. I see the "User Variables" for my ID lists the TEMP & TMP files to C:\Documents and Settings\my ID\Local Settings\Temp. They seem to be in order.

Attempted the above, Update as requested by Jack:

- Same error

- Also earlier verified that %temp% is pointed to folder in C: and he has 52GB available space in C:

-Just fyi - System is a Windows XP Tablet PC

The problem is happening in my PC too.

Mine is DELL Optiplex GX270 with around 14GB of free space.

I upgraded the PC from XP SP1 to SP2 through net.

It would be great if there is a workaround!!
