Error in free disk space calculation

[Argun Tekant]

I just had this reported by a user:
(using SUF 6)
He receives an error "Temp drive requires at east 2MB free"
He reports that his Temp drive has slightly over 4 GB free.
He resulved it by changing his Temp directory to a drive with less space available.

This is on Windows 2000 Professional, SP2
No disk quotas are enabled.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Re: Error in free disk space calculation

I am using the latest version (6.0.1.2) and they still have this problem. It's probably due to wrong calculation based on 32 bit (suitable for disks up to 4GB).
It will only occur if by a chance your free size is less than 2MB over 4GB steps (4-4.002, 8-8.002, etc.).
Very easy to fix. I'm surprised it remained during the last 2 years...

If it's not currently in our bug database, I will add it. We will be coming out with a new subrelease in the next few weeks so we will look into this during that process. Thank you.
