Issue
When installing UltiVist on a new OS/2 computer, it fails to begin stating there's not enough space on c: drive. However, c: drive has plenty of free space.
Pop-up error message reads as follows:
Setup is unable to copy the installation support file a:\~ins0762.lib to a temporary location. Error 420
Environment
UltiVist
Cause
The primary partition size is an issue for UltiVist.
OS/2 can support partition sizes greater than 2 gigabytes if HPFS is selected over FAT. UltiVist will NOT support a primary partition size of 2 gigabytes or greater and, as a result, it will think that there's insufficient capacity for writing data to the partition.
To confirm, open a Win-OS/2 window, go to file manager, and check the drive space. If a partition of greater than 2 gigabytes has been created, the available drive space will display as zero.
Resolution
Create a primary partition size of 1.99 gigabytes. It can be HPFS or FAT.
Best practice: Install only OS/2 on the primary partition. Install UltiVist on an extended partition (typically d: drive).
