I have downloaded the executable file for Goldeneye Source but it says there is not enough room for extraction. I have a solid state C drive with 1.3GB free, but a spinning D drive with tons of space free. I would like to extract Goldeneye in my D drive but it won't give me the option. I have tried extracting it but no good. Is there any way I can work around this low C drive space issue?

The server will work as client.

Depending how you have your Steam installed you might still have issues. you need 4.7GB free just to fit it.

I'd recomend installing steam on a drive with more available space.
While Steam can install its own store games to other drives as well these days, this cannot be done with mods by default, since they will always look for the steamapps/sourcemods/ folder to install to.

If you cannot have at least 5GB of free space on your C drive, you won't be able to use the installer as intended by us.

A possible workarround would be extracting the server installer Enzo linked and hardlink that folder to your sourcemods folder.
If you're not familiar with the command line stuff, there are also tools like hardlink shell extension that allow you to create hardlinks through right click context menue.

I had the same issue. Minor inconvenience really.

It would be cool if the installer allows you to choose the install dir. Easy solution would be to release a tar for us multi drive dudes.

You can already just download the server archive.

The ability to choose what drive you install to is not a feature I intend to support.

I remember one of the old installers I made searched for your steam directory and installed there.

But looks like server install is best option today, just needs some documentation.

The game goes to your sourcemods directory. However, the initial extraction for the installer always goes to a randomly named directory under %TEMP%.

Hey guys,

Turns out I had the preload version of the game, not the full release as of yet. This was caused by me downloading it a few hours early on the 12th (13th for me here in Australia) so the file would not unzip properly. I  just assumed it was a spacing issue. Thanks guys!

The game goes to your sourcemods directory. However, the initial extraction for the installer always goes to a randomly named directory under %TEMP%.

In that case, one can temporarily change the location of %TEMP% in the environment variables editor to the desired extract directory. Needs to be documented.
