I read a lot of stuff about the famous 1711 error, which means that during an installation process, installation data could not be written.
This can be due to a full harddisk, but also due to the namespace of C:\Windows\Installer\msiXXXX.tmp files being exhausted, where XXXX are hex digits.
Possible solutions include
- emptying temporary directories
- removing the said
msiXXXX.tmp
None of them worked for me.
Does anybody know what could be the reason for these errors?

I have found the cause of my problem.
While it was a silly mistake on my side, other poeple might stumble over it as well.
My C:\Windows\Installer lives in a separate partition, which was full. I didn't see that, as I just loooked at C:\, which had plenty of space at the same time. Extending this (dynamic) partition solved the problem.
