Problem with windows installer ??

Hi,
I have XPe working and running fine. Now, I have this application that I
have to install on top of it... I installed it on a Win2000 machine and it
works ok, so I'm assuming it'll work ok for XPe also.

When I try to install it, it goes through different prompts and then says:
"Not enough disk space".. Now, I know that I have roughly 250MB available
in free space so that is not an issue, plus the app. is a small one roughly
about 10-20Meg.. Also when I hit "OK" to the previous dialogbox, it still
tries to install and then disappears, giving me an impression that it
actually did install.. But it doesn't say "Install completed" etc which it
normally would, and the App is not installed, so I'm assuming there's
something wrong with this whole thing and probably I'm missing a
component....

Is there some component that's needed to install components on the XPe...or
any way to find out which one I'm missing.???

I'd appreciate any help..
Thanks,
Regards,
 
AS,

Your problem may be related to some missing components from your image.
E.g., in the app installer there may be a check for free space on the target
storage (GetDiskFreeSpaceEx) that may require "Disk Performance Counters"
component.

You will have to monitor your app installation with tools like
Regmon/Filemon to see if there is any failing request to some resources
(registry entries, files). Also, Dependency Walker will be your friend in
this investigation.
 
Ok, running dependency walker shows that I'm trying to install a 16-bit
appln.. Is it possible to install a 16 bit on an XPe system..??

Thanks,

Add the "DOS Windows on Windows Support" component.

You may have to add the 'compatibility' component to your image.
