Windows / Re: Win32 Development Binary Installer Links

I was installing to the larger drive, but since the OS is on the tiny one, the temp folder that the files are extracted to during the installation is also. Anyway I got passed it now, as my edited post mentions. I'm stuck by the general instability of the game itself now though. First I couldn't start missions for some reason, and most recently all the characters were black, and then when I opened the menu to check if I set something wrong and then closed it, it froze again. And this time I can't blame my computer; other than the idiosyncratic drive partitioning, the comp works rather well.

Due to a defect of my computer, I have a meager 20gig C drive, which has always hovered around 200-300 megs of free space. I can't feasibly get rid of anything since it's all the standard windows components (I've mistakenly removed wordpad and media player in my attempts to free enough space to operate, and I've taken to clearing my temp files regularly).  How can I change things so that the installer isn't writing the temp files it uses during the install to my broken little C drive since the installer fills the space fast and then can't continue extracting? I've already gotten stumped by the work involved in compiling the game myself... I'm not experienced with apps that require more than the simple running of an exe or an unzipping to use.

My other drive by the way is a perfectly normal 300gig drive (thank the geniuses at HP for that quirk)

Also, I didn't see any sort of rules thread so forgive if I've already erred in my first post
and sorry if I sound ranting about the failings of my comp.

EDIT: Just wanted to clarify I'm 99% sure this is no failing of the developers or anyone else, just problems on my end that I don't know how to fix.

EDIT EDIT: Nevermind, I was able to track down and clear a 1 gig cache for another game, should be clear now. Just forget I was ever here, hehe.
