I am getting an "error 82" after downloading anything from the net. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

If you're getting an error #82 in errorlog.txt while downloading files, it usually means that your download folder is filled. Windows has limits on the total number of files as well as the total space used by the filenames themselves.

1. Make sure your system drive has enough free space for your program.

2. Open a MSDOS prompt and type in "Set", read the path next to "TEMP=..." or "TMP=..." and check if you can create a text file in that directory.
3. Try deleting the Microsoft Installer. You will loose all uninstall
information, but you may be able to install normally from then on.
