Not enough memory...

Recommended Posts

I wanted to install Vista RC2 on a virtual machine using Virtual PC 2004.

I receive an error - the installation cannot continue because I don't have

at least 512MB - in the virtual machine.

The maximum amount of memory I can assign to the virtual machine is 400MB,

while the host's computer phyiscal memory is limited to 512MB.

I also tried installing Vista using VMWare Workstation, which allows me to use 512MB or more for the virtual machine, but Vista's installer doesn't start - even after waiting a while.

Is there any workaround for this situation - to trick the installer?

I can't install more physical memory on the workstation, even the prices are very low.

I've got VPC 2004 but am not using it and haven't used it in a while, so correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't there something in VPC 2004 (a trick or hack or something) that let you set any amount of memory up to the max? I just can't remember right now.

Something to trick the Windows' installer - to bypass that minimum requirement...( ex: like modifying RequiredMemory parameter in dosnet.inf & txtsetup.sif - Windows 2000/XP/2003 )
