Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
We have a server that's very low on disk space on the C Drive. &nbsp;We've already removed as many temp files as we could, and we need another option. &nbsp;We're trying to install a SQL Service Pack and it fails because of space issues. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We'd like to know how to modify the default location that temp files are unpacked to during an installation. &nbsp;If we could modify that to unpack the installion temp files on our D drive, we're pretty sure that would solve the problem. &nbsp;Is there an easy way to do that? &nbsp;ie: modify registry setting or something like that?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
