FS98 Setup Err Msg: FS98 Requires 4XXXMB for Installation (174247)

- Microsoft Flight Simulator 98
This article was previously published under Q174247 SYMPTOMS
When installing Flight Simulator 98 you may receive the following error
message:
Flight Simulator 98 requires 4096MB for installation.
The megabyte requirement may be different on your computer, but it
will always remain in the 4000MB (4GB) range. Flight Simulator requires
only 100MB of free hard disk space for installation.
CAUSE
This error message may occur if you do not have enough free hard disk
space on the installation drive of your computer. The error message may
also occur if calculation of free hard disk space during the detection
portion of Setup is incorrect.
RESOLUTION
If you do not have enough free hard disk space on the installation drive
of your computer, free up enough space on your hard disk to allow Setup
to complete successfully. (Approximately 100MB as stated in the system
requirements.) If you have verified that you have sufficient hard disk
space, download the Flight Simulator 98 Setup patch from the following
Web address:
If you have experienced this problem and are not able to successfully
Setup Microsoft Flight Simulator 98, this patch should resolve the
problem.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Flight Simulator 98. MORE INFORMATION
Setup may incorrectly determine the amount of free disk space on hard
disk drives that contain partitions. Partitions of 2000MB are particularly
affected, though the error message may appear with any partition.
