Q: "An error has occurred" "There is not enough disk space available to install BioShock3"

Dec 24, 2013 3:51 PMby M.Ingram,Thanks for taking the time to reply Linc.
Can we define "considerably". As stated this was proven to instal with only 20GB of free space which is within the parameters of what Im now dealing with. Is there a method to calculate what you're describing, or something more quantative?

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Dec 25, 2013 3:22 AMby M.Ingram,Excellently concise directions Linc - thank you.
Searching on the game name in the install log I have isolated the below, which was the only search result. Subsequent attempts to install the game post deletion of additional files do not seem to be present in the log. IE not only is the below the only instance of "BioShock" I re-attempted to install the game now with the log open to see a new entry recorded to the bottom of the log and get idea's of what else I could search on. No additional rows of data were recorded.
Apologies if this is missing data or contains unecesary data, I am unfamiliar with log files and where they start and end... but Im hoping this should be what someone needs.
Thank you again for your time and help on this - especially at this time of year.
Marc.

Dec 25, 2013 9:34 AMby Linc Davis,If "Mac SSD" is not the startup volume, unmount it and try again. Otherwise see below.
Back up all data.
Quit the App Store if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults write -app "App Store" ShowDebugMenu YES
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.
Launch the App Store. There should now be a menu labeled Debug in the menu bar at the top of the screen. From that menu, select
Reset Application
Quit again and relaunch. Test.Optionally, remove the Debug menu by quitting the App Store and entering the command below in the same way as before:defaults delete -app "App Store" ShowDebugMenu
