Issue installing software via SCCM


Question

I'm a system administrator at my workplace. My computer was added to a test group for Office 2016. The application showed up in my Software Manager. The install started automatically but stopped just a second later with an error stating: There is not enough temporary space reserved to download the software. You can use the Configuration Manager control panel applet to adjust the available temporary space."

 

From what I could tell, there was 10Gb of cache space and the file being installed was about 3Gb. I tried multiple times to get Office installed, but got the same error each time. I tried restarting and even tried logging in as an admin to get the application to install, but it just would not install. 

 

I researched the error, but didn't understand what solution would fix the issue. While I can view the SCCM properties, I cannot change anything.

Normally means the ccmcache folder in Windows has reached its limit.  The install package maybe only 3gb in size, but there may be other updates and packages in the ccmcache folder that is eating the rest of the 10gb.   I would first try and delete the contents on ccmcache first and try again.  If that does not work, then go in to Control Panel/Config manager and double the amount of space and see if that helps.

    • Sorry, I found your question odd, that's all 😅.
    • "LOL The IoT version is for embedded systems" LOL. The IoT version is for whatever you want, why are you so stuck up? It's just A NAME. Open your mind, buddy 😅. It's not a different version of Windows, only the licensing model and the support dates change, nothing else. "there no real reason to do that" Everyone has their reasons. You love to use Linux. Why? You have YOUR reasons. Other people will have theirs. I use Windows 11 and Linux on the side. Why? I have my reasons. "No security updates? Who cares!" Many people do, just not you. Why not use a supported OS instead of an unsupported one if you can? LOL. I find it odd that a person that loves Linux and choice/freedom so much has such a hard time understanding why people do things different than him.
    • Most people don't know what a Hz is; They buy the iPhone they can afford. This is a non-story, and it's here to get the Apple haters engaging.
    • Ummmm I thought we talking about the desktop for home users? LOL The IoT version is for embedded systems. No regular user is using that version and there no real reason to do that. Why does it seem like half the people here hate using an appropriate OS for the hardware they have? The kind of comments I see here all the time... No security updates? Who cares! I really like Windows 8.1 which was very underrated. Did I run it when it was supported? Well no I used Windows 7 at the time. My hardware doesn't support Windows 11. Windows 10 or Linux than? Nope! They are of course running Windows 11. LOL My hardware does support Windows 11. Never! I am running Windows 10 forever or at least until Windows 12 comes out and then you will have to rip my copy of Windows 11 from my dead, cold hands! I have a 12 year old PC and it's machine #4. Well that would be perfect to run Linux sir! Nah! I will run Windows on that too. Windows 7 of course and yes I absolutely sometimes must browse the Internet with it. Freedom! Did I cover all the scenarios we see here? LOL
