Skype install

Hi. I've been trying to install Skype on my mom's computer running Vista.
When Skype starts to install, it comes up with an error saying not enough
disk space. It's a core 2 duo Dell, with 3GB RAM and over 500GB of free
disk space. Skyp tech support was not help. They said to send them a log
file from Skype, but since it wont even install, there is not log. Does
anyone have any ideas on what I might try next?

You can try emptying the temp folders on the hard drive.

C:\Temp
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Local\Temp

Skip over any files that won't delete because they are currently in use.
After you're done, empty the Recycle Bin.

Thanks. That didn't work but I did get it installed. I found the skype.msi
file and ran that instead of their stupid installer that you download.
