Apart from the suggestions from G. Roderick, you should also note that the error message is not asserting there's a lack of space, merely hinting at that possibility. In all likelihood, the unpacking of that file encountered an I/O error, the most common source of which is usually a full hard drive. Since this is obviously not the case in your setup, it's probably something else.
The machine is a Pentium 166MMX with 64MB RAM. I have installed Windows 95, Winsock2 upgrade, and Internet Explorer 5.5 (the last 2 are primarily for system file updates). That's all there is on this computer.
Scenario #1: I downloaded OpenOffice 1.0.3.1, extracted to a temp folder, burned all the files to a CD, and tried to install from the CD: see error message below. Scenario #2: copied OpenOffice 1.0.3.1 files from the CD to "C:\office" on the machine I am trying to install software on, ran "attrib -r *.* /s" from a DOS prompt, then tried to install from "C:\office" :
ERROR: An error occurred while unpacking the file oledrbg.ll. There is probably not enough disk space.
I could understand an error if the installing from CD, but not from a hard drive with 1.7GB free space. Also note that I am trying to install on 3 machines (I refurb old computers for technically challenged individuals) and get the same error. I have also re-downloaded the software, and burned a new CD, and same.
I can think of two things, first I'm not sure how robust the support in W95 for large drives is, so there could be the possibility that the amount of space left is impropriately reported to the installer (but I doubt it since it probably would have complained in a more explicit way), second there must be somewhere after the install, even a failed one, a log file whose name unfortunately eludes me. I suggest searching for it by searching files created/modified very recently on your machine, ignoring the usual suspects like the registry and looking for something like install.log or similar. Maybe messages in that file would give us more information on the source of the problem.
