Hi Erland,
The trick to change the registry value of ProgramFilesDir cannot work
because it breaks Outlook Express. In fact in the registries, you find hard
coded Program Files for programs as well as %ProgramFiles%. So I used some
tool to repartition my disk ...
I find the setup pretty uncomprehensible, you don't know exactly despite the
Disk Cost how much you will install in the system drive, and the path you
select. I encountered twice setup problems (abort or willing to report to
microsoft)... Basically, it seems to me I installed about 800 Mb on both
drives, not selecting Analysis Services.
Then, installing SP1 ... took me from the system drive about 1 Gb, but
moreover that annoys me is the time it takes to apply SP1: about 45 minutes.
I am very surprised and disappointed about all these disagrements, and I
find even Oracle has made much progress on there installation gui (using
Oracle 10gR2).
Do you have any comments on my feelings ?
Regards,
Jean-Marc
