-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

The following error messages are received when running the Microsoft Exchange
Server Move Server Wizard extractor, Setupmvi.exe:

  Setup could not find a drive with 11780 KB free disk space to install
  the program. Please free up some space first and press RETRY or press
  CANCEL to exit setup.

  Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk
  space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file.

Even if there is 11,780 KB of free disk space, the extract process will fail.

WORKAROUND
==========

This problem has been reported to development. Currently, the only workaround is
to free up enough disk space to meet the requirements listed below.

Correct Disk Space Requirements:

- The extract process works with 11,796 KB free of disk space.

- The full installation of the Move Server Wizard works with 24,018 KB free of
  disk space.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Move Server Wizard component
of Exchange Server 5.5.

Additional query words: msw free space
