During installation, Error 112 - "Unable to decompress and copy..." appears.
One possible cause for this error is a lack of space on your hard drive, in which case all you have to free up some space on your hard drive and reinstall. Another possible cause for Error 112 is that your "TEMP" environment variable is not set or is pointing to a non-existent directory. In this case you can add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (a text file found in the root directory of your hard drive) by using a text editor such as the Windows Notepad Accessory. Add the line "SET TEMP=C:\TEMP" to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and save the change. Then make sure that a directory called "TEMP" exists at the root of your "C:" hard drive - if it isn't there, create it. Finally, restart your computer and restart the software - the Error 112 should no longer happen.
