How much space does the Building Design Suite extraction need?


Recommended Posts

I just downloaded the Building Design Suite Premium 32/64 for Windows. This consists of three files. I attempted to extract this to a 64 GB USB stick, but was there was not enough space - how much does it need for the initial extraction?

Quick google search seems to indicate the BDSP2014 was ~58GB download... 76GB unpacked. Basically twice the advertise Free Disk space required under system requirements because the download/and extracted files contains both 32 and 64bit. If you can get it unpacked, I believe you can just delete all the x86 folders and then move the rest to the USB stick if you aren't going to be doing any 32bit installs

Seems a good idea. Still, the extraction progress bar ends at 39,5 GB. How does that correspond to my 64 GB USB stick apparently not having enough space...?

According to instruction only 35 GB is required to install, but I have 51.2 GB free space on my C: drive. All connected USB drives have in excess of 1 TB of free space and the only network drive has 1.5 TB free space. I want to install to the C: drive because a laptop is portable, but when I attempt to install I get the error "Not enough disk space.". Eventually I gave in and went to install it to a 3 TB drive with 1 TB free space and it says it is extracting 75.4 GB

I just ordered the USB drive from AutoDesk. I don't care to download those large files. My USB shows over 21 gb used for the ultimate series.
