I have installed FME 2017 Desktop and it takes close to 3GB of disk space.

Thanks. I only have a little more than that and I wasn't sure. Thought I'd check.

If you're limited on disk space I would strongly recommend putting the FME Temp data on a different drive, see this article for instructions on how to do that.

Ideally you want to have quite a bit of free space (my personal limit is 5 GB) even after installing FME, some translations can consume a lot of temporary disk space.
