Vegas 10 install: There is insufficient space at the chosen location
When trying to install the Vegas Pro 10 trial, I get the error: There is insufficient space at the chosen location to install this product, Please free up additional space or choose a different location.
I Also get the same error from the latest version of DVD architect.
I’m running Windows 7 64 with 3TB hard drive that’s not even 15% full.
So not having enough space is not the issue. I’ve e-mailed sony but of course, no response. I’ve searched the web quite a bit and still no luck. Any suggestions? -

Did you run the installer with administrative privilege? Right-click Installer>Run as Administrator. Did you partition your Drive? what is the Size of 1st partition and 2nd Partition? Where is the exact location of installation point to?

Yes, I’ve tried as administrator.
The install location is Program Files/Sony
I’ve looked in the “computer management” window
and it shows 4 icons of drivesthe order of partitions look like this
OEM PARTITION 100 MB
RECOVERY PARTITION 17 GB
EFI SYSTEM PARTITION 100 MB
BOOT,PAGE FILE, CRASH DUMB, PRIMARY PARTITION 2776 GB -
Just a wild guess here but I’ve seen programs give out of space errors if there’s too much space available on a hard drive. They get an overflow while doing the calculation and get a negative result instead of a positive one and think they’re out of space.
I have an old version of PhotoShop which thinks it’s out of space when there’s more than 1 TB of empty space on the drive. My solution was to make a “Filler” directory and copy a bunch of video files in there and bring the available space below 1 TB. After that, everything’s fine. Then I delete part of the filler over time as I add more files to the drive.
I’d try putting some filler on your drive and take it below 2 TB of empty space. 3 TB drives are fairly new. Their installer might have some outdated code in it.
