Installers Lie
Wednesday, December 16th, 2015At work I have an SSD which is only 220 GB so it is almost full almost all of the time. Gone are the days of lean software deployments, and I am a hoarder when it comes to information. As a result, I was attempting to install DX Seattle on my SSD and Install Aware told me I had sufficient space after unselecting various features.
After proceeding, Install Aware told me it does not have enough!
In the end I did manage to free enough space to get DX Seattle installed, although it was like playing Russian roulette. I ended up removing vital components for SQL Server Management studio that I then had to repair.
