How install latest update

What are the disk space requirements for installing the update?
It seems that the update is not very bright about placing its temporary files.

Win 2000 is on the C drive, with only about 368MB available, but the Roxio directory is in Program Files on the D drive with about 1.5GB available.

Yet when I try to apply the update, I run out of room on C, apparently for the following reasons:

1. The update is not bright enough to locate the temporary files on a drive with sufficient space.

2. The update takes it upon itself to install version 3 of Windows Installer, for which I have no need and was not asked for permission.

When I run windows update, it has never ben suggested that I need to update to version 3 of windows installer, so I do not need it.

How can I cause the update to place its temporary files on a more sensible location?

How can I cause the update to NOT install version 3 of windows installer?

1. stupid updater... i don't think you can solve this.
mmm....maybe try this:
control panel -> system -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables
(this is for WinXP, i'm sure there's something similar for Win2K)
and change the User Variables TEMP and TMP.

2. i would guess the updater requires Windows Installer 3. so i don't think you'll be able to bypass it.
