Question

vs2008 Cannot read include file xxx.h Not enough space

Answer 1

A:

Probably the partition that has your TMP and TEMP directories is nearly full, and in the middle of compiling the partition gets completely full.

Try creating a directory for yourself on some other partition that has lots of free space, set your environment variables TMP and TEMP to point to that directory, log out and log in again so your session uses those new settings, and try Visual Studio again.

the problem is te TMP/TEMP folder is on my C:/xxx/TEMP, and there are nearly 200GB free on the C:/, so is there a limit on the TEMP directory?

I haven't seen any limits on the TEMP directory. If you have 200GB free on that partition then free space isn't the problem. (Unless you have quotas set.)

Answer 2

A:

Most likely you are running out of space/quota on the drive that your TEMP (or TMP) environment variable points to. if you start devenv from a command prompt try typing

set t

and see where these environment variables point to. If you use an icon to start it, then you need to check the default environment.

right click on "My Computer"
choose "properties"
if on Vista or Win7 click on "Advanced system settings" over in the right pane
go to the "Advanced" tab
click on the "Environment Variables..." button
