How does one expand the registry?

Also, I solved some problems by doing the component updates one at a time by putting the component CD in and going into each folder and setting them up individually.

>1) You will need LOTS of diskspace, and not just on the target disk for the installation. More than likely, Setup will require that you do a Windows Components update which may require up to 650MB or so of space on the drive where Windows is installed. On the target drive, you will need about 6GB for a full installation.
