Trying to install software getting error with XP

I just reimages the computer. Installed new hard drive and XP from cd-rom
but if I try to install a number of software packages I get the following
error

The decompressin of %s failed. There may not be enought free disk space
available in the TEMP directory

Check the TEMP directory (enter %TMP% in address bar to find your TEMP
directory) for leftovers from earlier installs. Remove these and you may
have sufficient room to install more software.

Usually, this directory is C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local
Settings\Temp but you may be expecting that it is the old %windir%\TEMP
folder.
