Cannot install EDIUS

[queensoft]

I'm trying to install EDIUS Pro 7.5, but I receive this error.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64, i5 CPU.
My system drive C: is a SSD, only 1 Gb free space.
Setup file is on my D: drive, plenty of free space
TEMP environment variables - User variable, system variables, TEMP, TMP - are all D: folder.
I really cannot free space on C: drive, any other solutions ?!

[videobruger]

It might use a temp directory in %appdata%. You could try to change the location (and for other "Windows" directories) to your D: drive.

[queensoft]

As far as I can see, there is a temp folder created in the D:\temp folder.
It contains a BMP picture with the Edius logo, so that is it.
It appers when I open the install file, it dissapears when I close the error.
Nothing similar appears in the %appdata% folder, but I will give it a try (hope I don't ruin my entire windows or other programs).

[videobruger]

It should be absolutely safe. You have the options to move directories like Desktop, Pictures, Documents ... to a different location, ie D: saving space on C:. You migth be able to free enough space on C: by this (I do this myself)

[queensoft]

Lol, I already said I cannot free more space on C: drive !
%appdata% (Roaming folder) is only 1.4 Gb.
Plus 1.5 free space now, still under the 6 gb mark.
The other 2 folders (Local and LocalLow) are bigger (2.4 Gb) but I found it's not safe to move them.
Desktop, Pictures, Documents - all folders are completely empty.
And lol again: seems I cannot do math.
1.58 (free space now) + 1.4 + 2.4 = 5.38 Gb, still not enough !!

[videobruger]

%appdata% (Roaming folder) is only 1.4 Gb.

Yes. But if it's here EDIUS wants 6 GB using a location on D: would solve this.

[queensoft]

Right.
You said in another reply this will free space on C:, and it totally slipped my mind.
All right, let's try.

[queensoft]

Did not work.
Chage (right click > properties > location > move) > try > nope.
Restart > try again > nope.
Changed back now.

Sorry, no help on relocating the file, but if you only have 1GB remaining on your SSD boot drive, you've got a large problem.
SSDs need empty space to move around data to equalize wear on the SSD memory modules.
I try to keep about 50% free, but you can do with a bit less.
I wouldn't operate one with only 1GB free unless it's smaller than a 5GB SSD or you risk early failure.

I now use 240GB SSDs in my PCs to give me a bit more room. Windows and other programs tend to want to install everything on the boot drive.
I move them elsewhere when possible, especially large temp and page files.

And welcome to our forums.

[queensoft]

SSD free space / wear / TRIM - this is not a problem.
It's a small 40 Gb Intel drive, I use the SSD Drive Toolbox and I have around %70 left.
Drive is a few years old, 4-5, I don't remember exactly.
It is performing very well and I'm very happy if it lasts ONLY another 5 years (instead of estimated 15).
Probably next time I will install Windows, I will then install almost all programs on another drive. Or not, not sure

[DB83]

The bottom line is that many programs insist on installing on the system drive which would, in your situation, be C: irrespective of having TEMP files elsewhere.

I could suggest you install another copy of Windows on you D: drive and dual-boot. But that might trash the drive with the TEMP files from the other install on that.

If you can partition the larger drive to have an E: drive and dual-boot there that could be a solution.

[queensoft]

Repartition and dual boot just for this one single program ?
No, thank you.

[DB83]

So using Edius is hardly important for you ?

Maybe then you should try another NLE that has less disk usage. And even if you squeezed out that 6 gig from C: the program is not guaranteed to run smoothly.

But with low space you will continually have this issue. So it really is not for one program. People often do dual-boots when they have s/w that will not run on a particular OS. I have kept my entire XP volume as a dual-boot in the event that there is something that will not run in Win7.

[aedipuss]

if you can afford edius you can afford to buy a larger ssd and clone your boot drive onto it. claiming you can't will only label you a software pirate.

[DB83]

^^ A while ago, Canopus/Grass Valley were offering a free version of v7. Whether that is still available somewhere ?

[queensoft]

Let's keep this on track.
There's a trial on their website.

[videobruger]

Maybe use a symbolic link if someone could tell where the 6 GB is needed (http://forum.grassvalley.com/forum/ ??

Already changed location / moved %appdata% and temp folder to another drive - did not help.
I have already found a temp folder, created by the setup, in the main TEMP folder.
If there are others, I do not know.

¿C:\Windows\Temp?

[queensoft]

Yes, that too.
I think I found the solution.
I have vmware, used that and got the extracted filed.
They are extracted in the AppData/Local folder, not the Roaming folder.
Installing now on the real machine.

[videobruger]

But you wrote

The other 2 folders (Local and LocalLow) are bigger (2.4 Gb) but I found it's not safe to move them.

so are you relocating them after all ?

[rbivi11572]

What file system are you using?

[queensoft]

But you wrote

No, I did not moved those folders, only Roaming

What file system are you using?

Windows 7 x64

I extracted the files, like I said, using VMWare, and managed to install it on real machine, it is working OK.
Yes, trial

[DB83]

So

1. On which drive is it now installed

and, if C:,

How much free space do you now have ?

[queensoft]

Installed on D: drive.
No errors using the extracted setup files.
Free space exactly like before: C: 1.5 Gb, D: 70 Gb.

[TreeTops]

So, does it run?

[queensoft]

Yup, of course, I said "no errors".

[TreeTops]

That's good. I understood that you had no errors during the setup. :"No errors using the extracted setup files."

[DB83]

I get the feeling we are not getting the full picture. We never have got the full picture.

We appears to have a classic topic where we feed on crumbs and not a full slice.

I am sure that Edius must be installed and not run by a simple extraction from the provided media. If the OP had stated this and also stated that VMware was in the system we all could have saved some time and concentrated on the real facts.

[queensoft]

I did not just run full program using extracted filed.
The extracted file are, in fact, the setup files.
Using these, I installed the program.
