Disk space and Auto Cad 2000

Windows 2000 workstation with SP3 and latest secruity
updates. We run a networked version of Acad 2k. The
client is installed with an image of Acad 2k and the
server distributes the liscense.

After updating to the last set of security updates I get
an out of disk space error when I attempt to install
Acad. There is about 2.5Gb of free space and the app only
takes about 180Mb. On a workstation with just sp3 it will
install. We aren't going to sp4 because of policy and
profile problems.

Has anyone else ran into this? If so how did you get it
to go?

Sounds like the "good old days" when the "installer space checker" would
choke on anything over 2 gig because the number returned would "wrap"
negative. As a test to see if thats the issue (real dumb programing if
it is) try cranking up the swapfile size to get freespace well under 2
gig.

Yep, those where the days there Bob. I bumped it up and
still had the same result.

It may be the "space checker" is using a method that was a security
"hole" and so is actually prevented from seeing the drive size at all.
Any way of "skipping" it? Is there a possibility of your anti-virus
interfering? I've never installed AutoCAD from a server, always did it
locally, so trying to think of ways it's failing.
