SOLVED: Had to update to Windows 10

Hi all,

When I try an start ISTA 4.01 for the first time I get the following error:

"The session can only be started if a minimum of 2000 MB free disk capacity is available.
You only have -1 MB free disk capacity"

I'm using a Windows 8 laptop with 500gb HDD and 8gb of RAM, which should be enough for ISTA.
Any ideas?

Have you checked your disk space and run a diag on your hard drive?
Maybe compact your drive?

I have 350gb of space free on my HDD, but I haven’t ran a diag/defrag recently. I’ll try it and get back

Yea unfortunately optimizing the drive didn’t change anything.

You might try Bimmergeeks standard tools
and there old ista download is at the following attachment .
Standard tools must be installed first with this version.
You might want to look at Ista problems links.

The -1 leads me to believe this an architecture problem. As in Windows 8 is not supported by ISTA. That O/S was released in 2013, time to upgrade, if only for security reasons.

Yea I tried the link ctuna sent and got the same error. Guess I’ll try and upgrade the OS, just not sure if my laptop can handle Windows 10/11

windows 7 through 11 should work if they have all the C++ redistributables
and netframework 4.7 or above .

Always get Inpa working first as the interface setup is the same and Standard
Tools if very useful.

I have used both windows 7 and 10 no problem .
I don't see why anybody would want to use Vista.

Yea I’ve got standard tools already working, not sure what else I could do. Might do a windows reinstall at this point, but INPA + google translate is working decently for me.

Had the same issue with a new install. Make sure you make a shortcut on the desktop and run it from that (as administrator).

Verified solution for Windows 7 & 10 (64). Have no idea with Windows 8 since I’ve never used it. Windows 10 should be a few upgrade BTW
