I was trying to install the Developer Edition of 2005 last night, and ran into a strange issue. I specified F:\SQLDev as the installation directory, but the installer still refused to install claiming lack of disk space. Checking the disk cost, I saw that it was still asking for about 1.5 GB on my C:\ drive. I double checked, and I did specify the installation directory as F:\SQLDev.

Is there documentation somewhere that describes why it would require space on the boot drive? Or am I missing a switch somewhere or something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

There's no way to change that?
