Help with 11i E-Business Suite Install on Windows XP

Question

I've tried unsuccessfully to install the E-Business Suite on Windows XP machine. I repeatedly get the following message during the install (I start from a clean restored environment each time) " RW-20001 Error: Unzip failed: Insufficient disk space: Please create enough space for the intstall". I get this message even though I have only used 100GB of a total of 500GB. I'm installing from DVDs provided by Oracle.
I also get an error message related to the "Listener". The detail of this message is included below.
Any suggestions to get past this would be appreciated.
Question on the Domain Name Configuration:
When i follow the instructions from a previous thread and do
C:\ipconfig I get the following:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix: PMSC.COM
IP Address : 192.168.0.103
I added PMSC.COM per the instructions in the thread.
The original entry in the host file was:
127.0.0.01 localhost
It is now:
127.0.0.01 localhost
127.0.0.01 localhost.PMSC.COM
I'm trying to set this up as a standalone installation with everything on the harddrive of this computer. I'm confused as to what the correct host entry should be and if this is the cause of my intallation failures. I can provide as much information as possible to help diagnose my probelms. Thanks.
The only error messages I can find in the log files show a problem with the Listener. The error message is as follows:

Answer 1

1. Make sure the user installing the apps has admin priviledges
2. Create a staging area from the DVD if you can - since you have so much space on your system, then attempt the installation from the staging area. The perl script to use is already on the DVD - adautostg.pl
3. > Connection-specific DNS Suffix: PMSC.COM
     IP Address : 192.168.0.103
and you added
     127.0.0.01 localhost.PMSC.COM, I feel it should have been
     192.168.0.103 localhost.PMSC.COM ( if localhost is your server name. Adding this will nto affect anything)
although I can see from your log file, that the server name is pmsc_main, if so you have to add the servername.domainname.com to the host file too, such as
     192.168.0.103 pmsc_main.pmsc.com.
Essentially, when you ipconfig, it has to return pmsc_main.pmsc.com against the IP address of your server - i.e. 192.168.0.103 and / or 127.0.0.01
Basically, see the following threads:

Note: To clean your system of previous installations, see the following if you have metalink -
Note 107961.1 How To Clean Out A Previous Oracle Applications Installation On Windows NT,
however, if you dont have access to metalink, do the labour of deleting every reference to the failed installations on your system and the registry (CAREFUL! if you are up to it)
