I downloaded the patch manual but i cant install, i have 2,6 GB free space on C: (i cant make free any more) but thats to less.

Is there any way to say this stupid programm that it should do the Temp Files on E: and not on C: ( there is a greys out browse option but the programm dont let me choose it just start to install)

This is realy so anyoing and not the first time with EVE.

What drive is your OS installed to?

There might be a way to tell your OS to put temporary install files on a different drive, but I don't know.

If this has happened before, I suggest you start looking for a hardware fix (bigger drive) to put whatever C:\ currently has on it.

I'll assume you have literally only your operating system on that drive, since you say you cannot make any more space. If you have only 2.6GB left after your OS, you really need to look into upgrading drives.

If you have other programs installed to C:\ like EVE, office suites, and other games... again, you need to look into buying some new hard drives to install your stuff on, instead of C:\

Either way, if your hard drive is full, you should be upgrading by now instead of looking for workarounds.

(This all assumes you have the money to upgrade)

hem, maybe move your Eve on E:/ ?
I guess you're using 2 HD's or partitions so there's not much of a choice.

Either you delete your pørn videos, either you place your eve forlder somewhere else either you don't play.

You have to pick one Lol

Should have upgraded 3 months ago. HD prices are going to rise significantly over the next 12 months.

Who has only 2.6GB free hard disk space these days? You're not seriously blaming EVE for this are you?

Time to upgrade or at least delete some peorn. Chances are you'll be having other PC issues due to that lack of space.

actually they're already starting to come back down, at the top of the spike they trippled in price per GB.

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

Why are there people suggesting the deletion of pron as a valid fix?

My EVE Installation is on E: There i have hundrets of GB left

On C there is only the OS and i have no problem since years with this.

My Problem is that the installier puts the Tempfiles for installation on C: and the whole Update Process runs on C and i want that to do on E...

HDD prices are skyrocketing, due to the flooding in Thailand (something like 80% of HDD motors are made in Thailand)

Suddenly, SSDs are looking more attractive...

I see you missed the part where the part of Thailand where most of the worlds HDDs are produced got flooded leading to global shortage of said HDDs.

Edit: It was pointed out that this may not work because of :CCP:

What OS? In recent Windows versions you can right click on "My Computer" / "Computer" choose Properties or go through Control Panel.

You'll want to go to Advanced (Advanced System Settings in Win7 Control Panel >System, on the left) , then Environment Variables.

You will see User Variables and System Variables. You can delete the User variables if you like (or change them) and go to System Variables to find TMP and TEMP and edit them to a path on E:.

Reboot.

I feel your pain. I often partition my OS separately on C:/, with about 10-15gb spare which slowly fills over time with crap, and leaves me with about 5gb spare. For those who can't understand the reasoning behind doing this, just don't bother posting, it makes you look like a moron.

OP, if you haven't already done so, tell the OS to store temp files on another drive, google it, it's simple enough. However i don't think this will solve it, CCP have a way of making the simplest things difficult.
Another option is to move the page file to a different drive, which could also give a slight performance boost if you put it on a separate physical drive.

Or you could buy a bigger drive and hope that the act of installing it magically unlocks the option to chose where CCP's program dumps the temp files for some reason... Roll

if you cant fit eve your computer is running like crap
if you don't have at least 20% free you are eating a bag of dicks in terms of performance for anything.

move games and stuff over to another drive and leave c for your OS

That doesn't really work well, because EVE use the C:\ProgramData\CCP directory for applying patches instead of the temp...
