install4j - insufficient disk space error

Question

I've just solved a problem with install4j and want to share the solution. And I hope that this problem will be fixed by install4j developers.

So, I had next situation:

OS Win7 Professional, there was some install4j installer which I launched. Immediately after launching I got "insufficient disk space" error, but computer had about 400 GB available hard disk space. I had a complete misunderstanding.

Actually the problem wasn't related to disk space. I had windows user account in Russian, then I created new user account in English and it helped.

I suspect that install4j can't create temporary files in path with Russian letters.

Answer 1

Here's another workaround - use an earlier version of install4j to compile your installers. Installers compiled with version 5.1.6 for example - don't have this problem.
