Unable to find a volume with enough disk space for file extraction.



Issue:-

Sometime while extracting SQL Server setup file, the extraction do not gets complete successfully, because of less space on C:\ drive.

By default any SQL Server setup file, extract to C:\temp folder, and if C:\drive does not have space the setup  extraction gets fail with below error Message. 





Resolution:-

 In order to resolve this issue 

In order to extract file to specified location you can issue below command



>setup.exe /extract :< destination drive location>
Example:-

D:\abcd>SQLServer2014SP1-KB3058865-X64-ENU.exe /extract:D:\abcd

here abcd is a folder in D:\ drive and setup will extract to D:\abcd folder.






hence just by passing above command extraction will occur on another drive.


Thanks for reading..
