When trying to launch the installer for CF 8, I get this message---
---------------------------------------
Please select another location to extract the installer to:

Options: Choose and Cancel.
----------------------------------------------
No matter where I tell it to go, it loops back to this prompt window after some file loading.

File is- coldfusion-801-win

Size is- 393,019,680
On disk- 393,023,488

Any ideas ??
Thanx,
Rick

Most likely your hard drive is full.

The installer is an executable ZIP file. It has to extract the installation files to a TEMP folder in order to run them. Each time you run it, it extracts to a different TEMP sub-folder, creating another set of files.

Clear out files from C:\Documents and Settings\{user_name}\Local Settings\Temp\ and try again. The most recently created, cryptically named folder is most likely the one the CF installer created.
