This is the message:
Setup is unable to find hard disk location to store temporary files. Make at least 898KB free disk space available and then try running setup again. Error 101.

I have 6 gigs of space and many temp folders that are empty. I cant load any programs from setup or uninstall anything.

Error 101 Setup is unable to find a hard disk location to store temporary files.
Make at least 500KB of free disk space available and then try the installation again.
SETUP.EXE is unable to find an appropriate location to copy temporary files.
SETUP.EXE intelligently searches all possible locations for free space to copy
temporary files. Check to see enough free space is available and temporary location
is not write protected. Check the environment variable TEMP. Make sure it points to
a directory location with ample free space.
