hello, i am tryin to instal windows vista feb ctp whenever i attemp to install it i get error that it needs 431mb of free space in any drive for temp files i've 2GB free space on C, windows xp sp2 in it, and clean partition 16GB its the same 431mb needed even when i free more space in C and other partitions
the error message: Setup has detected that there is not enough free space on any partition for setup to put the temporary files. Error code is [0x800700001]. Approximately [431MB] of free space is required for setup to continue.

5380 install issue: need more free space ALWAYS!
Try copying the contents of the DVD you burned the ISO onto, onto a seperate folder on the desktop. Try then running the installation file from there - you'll notice the initial setup actually going faster that way as well.
I think the problem here, is that sometimes Setup actually tried to install on the DVD your setup files are on, and because it's a closed DVD, it can't be written onto :o) That's my guess on it anyway...
