Does Visual Studio 2013 Express require space on the system drive? I have only ~5GB free on C:/. I ask because I remember that VS2012 takes lots of space on system drive even if you choose to install to another drive. Hardware requirements(source):
- 1.6 GHz or faster processor
- 1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)
- 4 GB of available hard disk space
- 5400 RPM hard drive
- DirectX 9-capable video card running at 1024 x 768 or higher display resolution
Off topic, but surely you should be thinking about addressing the issue of having such little memory left on the C? – Dave – 2014-03-07T11:46:55.530
The requirements seem to be crystal clear. VS2013 Express uses between 4GB and 5GB of storage depending on the specific installation you download and install. – Ramhound – 2014-03-07T11:54:44.423
Requirements also say 10GB for VS2012 but do not mention space on system drive. – Daniel Kmak – 2014-03-07T11:58:51.873
This question appears to be off-topic because it's about where files will be installed - this may alter with newer releases of the software and as such, the answer may not be relevant in the near future. This may mean, if you did an update, it may then also decide to add/install more files at certain sections of your machine – Dave – 2014-03-07T12:16:08.450
@Daniel - Question is specifically about VS2013 Express not VS2012 – Ramhound – 2014-03-07T12:33:20.387
Yes, but I want to show how "crystal clear" those requirements are. – Daniel Kmak – 2014-03-07T12:35:13.997
