Sounds as though the SSD disk is set to compress everything as it's
default setting. I've set my hard disk to compress everything before
when I was running out of space and got the same messages.
Try opening Windows Explorer and navigating to "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\"  (if it's not there create it), then right
click on the folder and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu. On the
"General" tab click on the "Advanced" button. In the 'Compress or
Encrypt attributes' section the 'Compress contents to save disk space'
checkbox is probably checked. Uncheck this this box, click on the 'OK'
and' Apply' buttons. Then try reinstalling Fieldworks. It should fly
through everything upto SQL installation and hopefully this time should
work.
