Hi Ammar,
You can try first extracting the setup package to a specific disk by
specifying the switch /x in command line. Here are the steps:
1. Press Ctrl+R, input cmd.exe to open Command Prompt;
2. Use 'cd' command to change the current path to your setup program's
parent path, for example:
C:\Users\username>cd D:\SQLSP1
3. Run the setup program with /x:
D:\SQLSP1\setuppkgname.exe /x

By using this method, you will be prompted a location to extract the setup
files. After that you can go to the directory you want to run the hotfix
setup program.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Charles Wang
