    I am taking a course on Geological survey. When I attempt to install the required software (Arcview) for the class I get the following error message;

    “The Decompression of %s failed. There may not be enough free disk space available in the TEMP directory.”

    Anyone who knows how to solve this, your help would be greatly appreciated.

    All of that info. really was just unnessicary.

    Anyway, I belive that would mean that you have too many items in your TEMP folder, and not enough room to use this installation.

    Here. Download this and run it. It is VERY useful:

    Please refer others to download software here, and not a different site.
