When trying to install SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition to my development machine I select the "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" as the target. Next I check the disk cost and find that the installation is trying to write 1.4 GB +/- to my C drive and about 400 MB to my D.
I've uninstalled the CTP edition, I've uninstalled Visual Studio, and I've uninstalled SQL Server 2000. Now I have lot's of free space (not 1.4 GB), but I still can't figure out why the installation is still targetting my C drive.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks.

I was having the same issue. If you expend all the file tree listings out you will see a common directory that it wants to wite to the C drive. You will need to change that loaction as well.
Hoe this helps.

Thanks for the response, Harold.
In my case, I don't have the opportunity to change the target of Client Components, which requires 1.4 GB. The options on the "Change Folder" page are all greyed out.
I assume you're talkng about changing the directory during the install and not editing one of the installation files.
Any other ideas?

Could this be updates to prerequisites like the .NET framework?
