I've downloaded the patches for the number one and two CDs for installing the subject service releases, a very time consuming and frustrating process. I have a partitioned drive, C and D. I downloaded to the D drive as C is almost full and that is where Office 2000 is installed. I installed a small utility from Microsoft for installing the software from the Office 2000 Update site, and installed it in the D drive as well. I've attempted to install from the web site using Microsoft's instructions and from both the C and D drives. No matter how I attempt to install, I get a script about 3-4 minutes into the process which states: " Small Business update out of disk space-Volume: 'c,'; required space 98055 KB; available space: 27456 KB, free some disk space and retry." If I have the updates on the D drive, and the installer too, why am I getting this script, and what do you recommend? I've failed in all attempts to install. I thank you in advance.
