Registry Requirements for Internet Explorer Setup
This article was previously published under Q258707
If you uninstall Internet Explorer and then attempt to reinstall it, you may receive the following error message:
You do not have enough registry space for Setup to continue.
There is insufficient registry space available for Internet Explorer Setup.
To resolve this issue:
- Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
- On the Performance tab, click Change.
- Increase the Maximum Size setting to a value at least four megabytes (MB) larger than the current value.
- Click OK, and then restart your computer.
- Run Setup again.
If the current registry size is within four MB of the maximum size, you may receive this error message. Although Internet Explorer uses only two MB of registry space, Internet Explorer cannot be installed with less than four MB of registry space available.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
