Quartus II 10.0 Disk space error

Hi!

When i tried to install Quartus II 10.0 Web Edition (and ModelSim altera edition) on Windows Vista Home Premium os, on the destination select tab in the altera installer first appear 81GB as the available space, but if i go to the components select tab it drops down to 1GB (when i change the directory no matter how many free space i have, it drops down to 0GB :( )

I had the same issu if i download the QII 10.0 individualy or just the altera installer, and the same in an other PC with Win7 os. I ran the installer in root mode, so i have no idea what is the problem :(

    It is not necessary to change all language and locale settings, only to ensure that decimal point symbol is set to '.' and the thousand separation symbol is set to ',' so the installation software is able to read correctly the available disk size. I've just tested it on Windows 7 64-bit, spanish language.

    Hi, I was not obtaining a 0Gb available disk space, but rather a 1Mb available disk space. My locale setting for printing numbers was '.' as decimal point and ' ' (blank space) as thousands separator. Probably the routine that finds free space in the installation program is retrieving the free disk space info as a text string, and not able to convert it correctly if it is not in the 999,999,999.99 format.
