Hi Gerald,
Works Suite Suite requires a certain amount of disk space on drive C to
unpack itself and install system components. I'm not sure of the amount
required on C but it normally is on the range of 500 mb - however, I'm not
sure about the latest version which may require more space (don't they
always) and it varies by machine:

Free up more disk space on C and you will get to the window that allows you
to select the drive where you want the final installation to go. As you can
see from the following article, it is not specifically disclosed exactly how
much space is required. Move some data temporarily to another drive, empty
your trash, move your swap file to another drive. All of these things will
help you gain space on C.

Alternatively, you can explore the first CD and install Works from its own
install folder, then go back and do a custom install to add additional
programs as you wish. You can also try locating the ie6setup.exe file in
the cd set that will install IE first, that way your system doesn't require
so much space for the install.
